DATA UTILITIES
Message Viewer
The “Message Viewer” screen
(Figure 86) is located under the System drop-down menu. The message viewer
allows the user to view the history of the last 1000 messages sent between the Human-Machine Interface
(HMI) and middleware portion of the software. Most users will not need to use this screen regularly. This screen
is primarily used by TE personnel for troubleshooting purposes. The messages on this screen provide an in-
depth history of machine operations. The bottom portion of the screen shows the message history. The
“Suppress Ping/Pong” checkbox can be used to filter out ping/pong messages that are only used to verify the
connection betwee
n HMI and middleware still exists. The “Suppress RX” checkbox can be selected to filter out
messages received by the HMI, and the “Suppress TX” checkbox can be selected to filter out messages
transmitted from the HMI to the middleware.
The pause button (“Pause” icon) can be pressed to pause the stream of messages being added to the
message history. Pressing the pause button will also enable buttons to reverse the sort order of the messages,
jump to the last message, and jump to the first message. Press the
play button (“Play” icon) to resume adding
messages to the message history.
