6. Communication Message Processing
This section describes the test set capability for saving and viewing previously saved
communication messages. Communication Messages are initially generated as the result of
communication or attempted communication between two or more devices. From the test set
perspective, Communication Messages result from Master Mode operation, Monitor Mode
operation, or RTU Simulation Mode operation and applies to both Exchange Mode and Task
Mode. During a live communication session (Master Mode, RTU Simulation, or Monitor Mode),
communication messages are always stored in the Current Message Buer. This is an internal
temporary storage area within the test set specically intended to store communication message
data. In addition, the Current Message Buer is used to store:
• Communication message data resulting from importing previously saved message data from
a .MSGX le (File > Import> Communication Messages).
• Communication message data previously stored in a capture le when the View Capture option
is selected.
When the “File > Export > Communication Messages” option is selected, the data stored in the
Current Message Buer will be written to the designated .MSGX le.
The Line Monitor or Messages views will display data currently in the Current Message Buer
regardless of where the message data was obtained.
The following screen shot illustrates the same message data displayed in the Messages view
and the Line Monitor view.
