Categories Pane
The Categories pane is the left-most pane in the Main Screen and presents the highest-level information
about the overall system status. The Categories pane has two tabs: Diagnostics and System.
When maximum and minimum levels of operation for various components in the system are exceeded,
APDiagnostics flags that information as warnings or errors (depending on the data received) by
changing the color of the Categories buttons in the Categories pane to yellow for warning or red for error
and by displaying the information as Warnings or Errors in the Event Status Notebook.
Diagnostics Tab
System Tab
The two buttons on the Diagnostics tab (Temperature and Power System)
will turn green, yellow, or red indicating Good, Warning, or Error state,
respectively. A yellow for warning or red for error button indicates that the
maximum or minimum levels of functioning for various components in the
system has been exceeded. This allows you to “drill down” into that
particular system for more detailed information about the state of its lowest-
level constituents.
To display diagnostic information for Temperature
and Power System groups:
1.
In the Categories pane, select the Diagnostics tab.
2. Click either the Temperature or Power System button. Visual, Plot, and
Details buttons display in the Information pane (see page 131).
The six buttons on the System tab offer general information for the following
Enclosure Info
VM Configurations
Hardware Boards
Power Supply Info
Fan Status*
Signal Sense (for inputs and outputs)
