Segment
Assign test locations to segments: Those test locations
are particularly important which are located within the
currently tested physical segment. It is recommended to
make at least two signal quality tests per physical
segment (at both ends of the corresponding segment).
Test Locations Manage test locations: Particularly when testing signal
quality, the test location has a major influence on the test
result.
To find typical PROFIBUS faults, it is recommended to
measure the signal quality at different locations on the
bus, at least at both line ends. If a PROFIBUS network
comprises multiple segments connected through
repeaters, you have to measure each segment
separately.
Extras
Master
Simulator
Using the master simulator, you can even test the signal
quality while you are still setting up a PROFIBUS
installation and the actual master is not operational yet.
The master simulator is disabled by default when you
switch on the tool. You can only select a baud rate on
the display and thus start the master simulator if no
other master is active.
If you use the master simulator in a trend test, quick test
recording or when running the Bus Status function, the
values for the critical events will not be informative
because the master simulator does not execute a
regular DP protocol.
Settings
Energy
Management
The energy management settings have a considerable
bearing on battery life of the test device with respect to
one battery charge. It is recommended to activate the
automatic profile "economy".
