• Ping
- This test verifies successful
communication between the control
computer and the devices connected to
it. The processor sends out a ping signal
request to the target address and receives
back a live output. The results of the test
are listed as ping statistics in the main
window. The results include the number
of signal packets transmitted, the number
of packets received, the percentage of
packet loss, and the time it took for the signal packets to travel round-trip (minimum,
average, maximum time). Refer to
.
Note:
Review the
Ping
test results with caution. If the target address has ping
disabled, it cannot send back a response.
• Trace
- This test sends out a signal request to a target address and receives back
information on how many hops the packet requires to reach the host and how long
.
