Appendix B.1. Driver Stats

The statistics recorded by the GE-SNP Serial Driver are slightly different from the way that FieldServer driver normally records statistics. This difference arises from the fact that this driver is not a simple poll response driver. Bear in mind that a single poll can generate a large number of response fragments.

Fragment Ack/nack messages are NOT counted as messages but the bytes sent/rcvd are counted.

Connection messages are counted as messages and the bytes sent/rcvd are counted.

This driver can expose these and additional statistics by writing data to a Data Array.

A special Map Descriptor is required. The driver recognizes the Map Descriptor by its name which must be "SNP-stats”.

When the driver sees this Map Descriptor it uses the Data Array SNP_STATS (in this example) to store driver specific statistics. Only one of these Map Descriptors may be specified (per tier) per FieldServer.

The driver stores the following stats for each port.. The offset into the Data Array can be found by multiplying the port number by 60

Message

Description

 

 

 

 

 

This is 10 bytes long. The numbers placed

0

GE_STAT_CPU_ID

here correspond to the ASCII characters of

 

 

the responding Node's name.

 

 

The current value of the T1 timer is

11

GE_STAT_T1_TIMER

reported here. The driver uses the larger of

 

 

its own and the slave T1 Timer.
