Appendix C – APDiagnostics
211
Instruction Manual – Enova DGX 8/16/32/64 Digital Media Switchers
Activity Log
A diagnostics window where all activity is logged in detail keeps track of the application’s activity while it is running.
The logging can be paused and resumed as required. The logged information can also be deleted (Clear Pad). The level
of logging can be specified as: Critical, General (default), or Detailed.
To select options in the Activity Log:
1.
Select Options > Show > Activity Log.
2.
Click Pause Logging or Clear Pad as needed (change Log Level if desired).
Communications
APDiagnostics communicates with a single enclosure at a time in Acquisition mode. (Only a single instance of the
application can run on a PC when in Acquisition mode.)
Note:
The Comm menu item is available only in Acquisition mode because communication with a system is
not required to run APDiagnostics in Emulation mode.
The communication link can be disconnected at anytime (thus freeing up the COM port for use by other applications)
and then reconnected when needed. The program will reset itself when the reconnection occurs. Due to the potentially
high volume of information being processed from the attached enclosure, we recommend using the Ethernet connection
whenever possible.
To change the Comm Settings (in Acquisition mode only):
1.
Select Comm > Settings. The Comm Setting Dialog box opens.
2.
Ethernet
– Select the Ethernet tab and enter the NIC ID.*
Or
Serial Port
– Select the Serial Port tab and enter the Comm ID and baud
rate (default 9600).
3.
Click Accept.
* The NIC ID, which is also known as the MAC address
(e.g., 00-1E-4F-A1-82-5D), is provided on a label directly above the Control
port on the CPU (see FIG. 7 on page 19).
