Segment List
The cable segment list shows all segments which
belong to the currently selected network in a tabular
overview. Plus, an OK- or error-message is displayed (if
available). Particularly in the context of acceptance
control the commissioner can get a survey over the
cabling of the network.

Functions
Quick Test
The Quick Test allows full testing of bus physics and
bus communication. The test data is stored in the tool. It
can subsequently be imported by the PROFIBUS
Diagnostics Suite software application.
The residual waiting period is displayed during the quick
test. After completion of the test, a tabular overview is
displayed which informs you about existing and missing
quick tests respectively.
Trend
Trend logging is used for detecting rare or sporadic
faults over a prolonged period of time. The function
monitors both the bus physics and critical events in the
bus communication. The test data is stored in the tool. It
can subsequently be imported by the PROFIBUS
Diagnostics Suite software application. The tool displays
the duration of the running trend test.
After completion of the test, a tabular overview is
displayed which informs you about existing and missing
trend tests respectively. The Trend Test runs until
manually stopped, is aborted automatically when the
power supply is interrupted or when the maximum
logging time of 99 hours and 59 minutes is reached.

Management
Networks
Select network - The PROFIBUS-Tester 5 stores the
test results that are associated with a real PROFIBUS
network in a separate file folder for that network. Three
configurable folder structures exist. The radio button
shows which network is currently selected.
Each network contains at least one physical segment
and test location.

> Edit Network
Segment list - The signals of stations located behind a
repeater are regenerated and transmitted by the
repeater. Therefore, all stations behind the same
repeater will have identical quality test results. When
using repeaters, you will thus have to test each segment
separately.
One test location belongs exclusively to one segment.
