Diagnostics
The Diagnostics application is the main tool for system maintenance personnel. The
Diagnostics application is used for monitoring the status of the CDU(s), internal components
(ROA processes/objects), workstation applications, sensors, and other devices in the
system, and for viewing system events.
Depending on system configuration, other AviMet maintenance applications, such as ASCII
Log View and IO Terminal, can be accessed directly through Diagnostics.
IO Terminal
The IO Terminal application is used for connecting to sensors and field devices through a
communication port. When there is an open terminal connection to the device, you can
monitor the messages it sends and send commands to check and modify the device status.
Sensor Selector (Optional)
With Sensor Selector you can disable a faulty sensor or a sensor that is being maintained.
Data from the disabled sensor will not be published for use in other system processes.
Playback Feature (Optional)
Playback is a feature that allows the user to replay data from a specific period of time in the
past as it was displayed on the screen. The feature can be integrated with an AviMet
application, typically with a WeatherView screen.
