RV-C OmniScope Manual
among all devices, and identifies the general nature of how the SPN is bad. For example, an FMI
of 1 means “Below Normal Operating Range”, which would be a serious fault if the SPN is Oil
Pressure.
Fortunately, the module automatically looks all this data up in its own tables, and provides the
interpretation on the next line. This interpretation is general to all manufacturers, so it will not
necessarily use the exact same terms as the manufacturer's documentation.
Normally the diagnostic information is sent automatically. If the device is not responding
properly, clicking on the Poll button will request updated information from the device.
Configuration Tools
Warning:
Most configuration tools allow the tech 'back door' access to functions and settings deemed too
specialized or dangerous for the casual user-owner to manage. These range from battery charge-
bridge and GenStart to Tank monitoring, heater and burner controls to network addressing. Each
of these may operate in real-time and a mistake or 'bad' setting has the potential to create havoc
at best, confusion for other techs and damage to the equipment and people at worst. Do not
change a setting unless you are sure of an appropriate, measurable outcome.
That said, the various configuration tools are set up uniquely, depending on the equipment they
modify or manage. Many contain an option to “Save for Cloning”. Think of this as a way to 'fall-
back' to prior settings or migrate the setup on a given Silverleaf box to its replacement or another
coach. This is common when like-coaches are available for troubleshooting; a given unit in a
known-good coach may be cloned and that newly created (txt) file can be used to overwrite a unit
with known or suspected bad settings. Use this tool often, save the setting this way before
troubleshooting. Plan-ahead for success.
RV-C Terminal
This module is used to send messages and receive information such as a log or “records” file.
Typing help on the command line will bring up a list of terms you can then use. Here's the most
used and useful, along with some pointers:
all = display CAN status
adc = display analog counts
actinv = display active inverter
batt = display battery status ( Its just a snapshot )
can = display CAN status
cbridge = display chargebridge status
charger = display charger status
clock = display real-time clock
dev = display device list
erase = clear diagnostic messages **WARNING** This deletes the TM102 log file! <--
exec = display executive status
ffmem = initialize NVRAM
flash = display flash status
gen = display genstart status
io = display I/O status
j1939 = display J1939 parsing info
log = display diagnostic records. log -50 = 50 records. Don't type the word by itself !
mem = display memory size
