Diagnostics
A number of Diagnostic and testing services are provided via the Diagnostic Screen,
accessed through the Devices menu (see figure 7.10). The Test button retrieves
status and error counts from the SLTA-10 Adapter. The Service button will cause
the SLTA-10 Adapter to broadcast a service pin message on the network. The reset
button causes a reset of the Neuron Chip in the SLTA-10 Adapter, but does not clear
the Neuron Chip’s system image.
Some buttons are left for future releases of additional features.

The SLTALink Manager Programmatic Interface
SLTALINK . EXE executes as a single process. If you try and run another copy of it, it
will defer itself to the original process. However, command line arguments may be
passed in this manner which will direct the existing process to perform certain types
of tasks. These command line options are:
~Linknarnew
A link name is required for all actions. If the link name alone
is passed then that link will be connected to. It must be
enclosed in double quotes, since the link name can have
embedded spaces.
