2. Verify that all the subsystems are displayed in this list.

Note: The subsystem names that are displayed here correspond with the OPC

group names [➙ 59] entered in the MK8000 tab of Composer during the

configuration process.

3. Use the Add Branch button to insert subsystems into the main window for testing,

and select Done when finished.

 The subsystems appear in the main window of the client.

WARNING

Note: The OPC Test Client performs best with less than 5000 points attached at a

time. Therefore it is recommended that you test a few branches at a time rather than

testing everything all at once.

Starting the subsystems, and verifying value and quality

1. Do one of the following:

- Select and start the subsystems one by one with the Start icon

- Start all the subsystems at once with the Start-all icon

 The subsystem nodes change to yellow.

2. While still disconnected from the subsystems, verify that the top OPC object of a

subsystem is yellow with value: Fault Ack (1999), and Quality: GOOD.

3. Verify that the child nodes of the top object are grey with value: Quiet (1000),

Quality: BAD.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each subsystem.

Note: The MK8000 test client uses colours to indicate value. Each OPC group item

should display in one of the following colours:

- Grey: Quality BAD

- Green: Quality GOOD, State Quiet

- Yellow: Quality GOOD, State Fault

- Blue: Quality GOOD, State Warning

- Red: Quality GOOD, State Severe Alarm

- Violet: Quality GOOD, State Alarm

- White: Quality GOOD, State Anomaly

This colour scheme is specific to the test client and may vary for other clients.
