Monitoring and Controlling Individual Circuits on a Genius Block
Select F3 (Monitor/Control Reference) from the Analyze menu to:
HDisplay the present state or value of any circuit on the active block.
HDisplay the diagnostics status of any circuit.
HForce and unforce individual circuits.
HForce a bus switch on a dual bus.
HClear individual circuit faults.
Making the Block Active
The block whose circuits will be monitored or controlled must first be made ªactiveº by following the steps below.
1.From the Analyze menu, select F3 (Block/Bus Status).
2.Press F1 (Next) or F2 (Previous), to reach the device's description screen.
3.When the block's screen appears, press F3 (Ac- tive) to make it the active device. (On a dual bus, the HHM must be on the same bus as the active block. If it is not, either move the HHM or force the bus selection)
4.Press D MENU to return to the Analyze menu. From the Analyze menu, press F2.
Basic Monitor/Control Display Format
Each Monitor/Control Reference screen provides information about one circuit, channel, or data value. For example:
M N T R | 4 4 1 ± 4 6 4 A | |
I 2 : ± 1 9 3 7 O |
| |
N O F A U L T S |
| |
> f o r c e | r e l e s |
Line 1 shows the references used by that circuit. If these are out of range for the host CPU set up for the
M N T R (circuit number) + * A
For example, the first circuit on the block appears as: 1 + *
If the HHM is set up for PCIM mode, references are not used; a block description appears instead.
