Viewing Block Transfer Statistics
Press [B]
from the Main menu to view the Block Transfer Statistics screen.
Use this command to display the configuration and statistics of the backplane
data transfer operations between the module and the processor. The information
on this screen can help determine if there are communication problems between
the processor and the module.
Tip: To determine the number of blocks transferred each second, mark the numbers displayed at a
specific time. Then some seconds later activate the command again. Subtract the previous
numbers from the current numbers and divide by the quantity of seconds passed between the two
readings.

Important: When in analyzer mode, program execution will slow down. Only use this tool during a
troubleshooting session. Before disconnecting from the Config/Debug port, please press [S]
