Start Sniffing

The ADDICT

will start sniffing the DALI line until the user presses enter, or 250 packets are

received. Every 2 hours, if the 250-packet limit has not been reached, the time will reset to start

from 0 again. When a packet is detected during sniffing, its contents are displayed on the screen

(as well as the number of recorded packets).

The following show the screen before any packets have been detected, and the screen after 24

packets have been detected so far with the last packet being a “Maximum” command to the

device with address 4.

During sniffing, the ADDICT

will store the detected packet data in its volatile RAM memory. This

means that the data will be lost if the ADDICT

is turned off or the data will be overwritten if

sniffing is started again. To prevent this data from being lost or overwritten, the ADDICT

contains two sections in its eeprom (designated Alpha and Beta) that can each store a block of

250 packets and be later recalled after the ADDICT

has been turned off or sniffing was

restarted.

When sniffing has been stopped (by one of the conditions mentioned above), the ADDICT

displays the packets that were detected during sniffing. Since this is the same as what is

displayed under Recall Data, it will be described in that section.

Note: sniffing can also be stopped by pressing escape, but the ADDICT

will show the Sniffing

menu instead of the Recall Data screen. However, the packets that were detected before

escape was pressed can still be displayed by going to Recall Data.

Selectable values: none

Recall Data

Recall Data is a menu with four options:

• Recall Last – display the packets most recently sniffed

• Recall Alpha – display the packets that are stored in the Alpha eeprom memory location

• Recall Beta – display the packets that are stored in the Beta eeprom memory location

• Send all to PC – transmits all the stored packet data (in Last, Alpha and Beta) via the PC

communications link

After selecting one of the recall options, the packet display screen is shown.
