Epica DGX 32 Instruction Manual
Modes
Note: If the system contains multiple enclosures, you will be prompted to select the enclosure before
you select the mode.
This program can be opened in one of two modes: Acquisition or Emulation.
Acquisition Mode
Note: Only a single instance of the application can run on a PC when in Acquisition mode.
Acquisition mode is used to gather and display real-time diagnostic data from an attached AMX
AutoPatch Distribution Matrix. For this mode to be used effectively, we recommend using a dedicated
PC because the Epica DGX 32
must
be connected to your PC via an Enc Link (Ethernet 10/100) port
(default) or Control (DB-9 serial) port
and the program must be running continuously to acquire data
.
This data consists of system-critical operating parameters, as well as general information about hardware
and control configuration. As the data is gathered, it is automatically archived on the host PC’s hard-
drive. The three distinct types of files maintained by APDiagnostics are: date-stamped log files, .acp
(packet) files, and activity files. The archived files can be emailed to technical support for trend analysis
and troubleshooting or can be opened by APDiagnostics in Emulation mode for analysis.
Emulation Mode
This mode is an “off-line” mode used to process and display data that was gathered from an actual
system while in Acquisition mode. This mode allows the user to “play back” the system’s behavior
during a specified period of time for trend analysis and troubleshooting.
Main Screen and Menus
Note: Custom window colors can be applied to the Main Screen. For instructions on modifying the
Main Screen’s color, see the APDiagnostics Help file.
