TIM Message Monitor
Description of the functions
The TIM Message Monitor function is used to specify the settings for message monitoring of
a selected TIM and starts the monitoring.
In TIM message monitoring, the messages received and sent by the TIM are recorded. As
soon as the monitoring function is activated, copies of every message are stored in a buffer
created specifically for this function. The messages are read out of the buffer of the TIM and
saved in a monitoring file.
To start to message monitoring, you must set the following:
● the output file in which the recorded messages are saved and
● the stop action for the monitoring, either
– manual for
- continuous sampling (reading out the buffer at 5 second intervals) or
- read data once after stop of monitor,
– fill buffer only once or
– time-limited reading by specifying the elapsed time.
Reading the data once after stopping monitoring is set if the messages are to be monitored
following any intervention, for example turning off the TIM.
If the message buffer of the TIM is read once without any time limitation, the entire saved
SINAUT data traffic of the relevant TIM is read out. With the fixed buffer size of the TIM, this
involves 400 messages.
Monitoring is always started manually in the
TIM Message Monitor dialog. When monitoring
is started, the
TIM Message Monitor progress bar is displayed and the group error LED of
the TIM flashes while monitoring is active.
If the
manual stop option is selected, monitoring is also stopped in the TIM Message Monitor
progress bar.
