2.15 Protocol test mode
Figure 10 Protocol test mode enabled
Protocol test mode overrides the data that is available to communication protocols with
arbitrary test data. The mode is useful for verifying proper handling of data and alarms when
integrating the DGA monitor with a SCADA system. The recommendation is to use the
protocol test mode during commissioning, after the required output protocols have been
configured and enabled.
Protocol test mode can only be used by the Admin user. When the mode is activated, the user
is presented with a page that shows default test values for each output parameter, and allows
values and alert statuses to be changed as desired.
Clicking Close on the page ends the protocol test mode immediately. The user can also select
to end the test mode after a timeout. The available timeout values are:
• 1 h
• 3 h
• 6 h
• 12 h
• 24 h
• No timeout
Be careful if you use the No timeout option, as DGA monitor will remain in the test mode
indefinitely until it is manually closed.
