Diagnostics

The Diagnostics page provides tools for testing all as-
pects of your SI-2 installation. The page is split into six 
separate areas as shown here:  

Input Actions - allows you to 
simulate an incoming message 
from the serial device in order 
to trigger the associated ac-
tions on the iCANnet network.

Output Actions - allows you 
to simulate an action from the 
iCANnet network in order to cause 
a programmed output string to be 
sent to the serial device. 

Output Strings - allows you to 
send any of the programmed 
output strings to the serial 
device independently of the 
triggering iCANnet action. 

Startup Action 
- launches the action 
that has been config-
ured to run at every 
SI-2 unit power up. 

Sequence Tests - allows you 
to start, stop and pause any 
of the sequences that are pro-
grammed within the SI-2 unit. 

Sequence Steps - displays 
the individual steps contained 
within the sequence selected 
on the left.

Note: Test buttons shown with darker backgrounds and 
red text indicate that no action or string is associated for 
that particular entry.
