Communications Testing

Communications Testing enables the user to test the quality of the communications link to the MIC. This does require 2 way comms for any of the below options. Use the Cancel button at any time to stop the testing process.

MIC Comms

To initiate, select the MIC Comms radio button and press Test. This will repeatedly query the MIC for a set response the number of times of which is defined by the Test Repetitions input box. If the response is valid and within the correct time frame then it is logged as a pass. No response or a late response is flagged as a time out and short or incorrect data is classed as a fail. The results of this are continually displayed in the small window directly below the Test button. Any faults along the length of the comms lines will normally result in fails or timeouts dependant on the severity of the problem.

Cam Comms

Starting this is as with MIC Comms but by selecting the Sony Cam Comms radio instead. So long as the MIC Comms are 100% reliable this will return the reliability of the comms to the Sony Module inside the MIC, again returning passes, fails and time outs in the same frame. If these are intermittent, please contact Forward Vision for advice.

Alarms

This test monitors the state of the 8 alarm inputs if applicable, printing if they are turned On or Off continually throughout the test in the larger of the 2 results windows. The test is started by selecting Alarms from the options and pressing Test.

Detect All MICs

This sends out a request to each MIC address for its Software Version printing the Response and the respective address in the large results box. This can be used in conjunction with setting a site of multiple MICs all to address 0 (random address) to then find what address each is on and therefore regain control.
