1. This region also has an ON OFF button to enable disable data logging Data logging is primarily a factory diagnostic aid You may be asked to enter a Log filename and select a logging interval to generate a data file to be sent back to the factory to diagnose some condition noticed in the field A two tone LED is included in the Data Logging area that changes color each time a log entry is appended to the log When enabled all Modem parameters are logged to the log file at the specified log interval The program also provides an approximate file size for the log file If logging is enabled and PMON is subsequently shutdown and later brought back up PMON will append the new logged data to the existing file 4 1 3 Serial Protocol This area is used to display diagnostic data passing between PMon and all the active Modems The Status line will display the state of each Modem whenever a request is made of that Modem The desired Status is Ready Error states that may be presented are Bad Data or Timeout for a particular Link Modem combination The TX line shows the last data packet sent out on the serial port and the RX line shows the last received packet Vertical bar characters are used to represent non printing characters like CR and LF Note Protocol Errors occurring on this page do not mean that there is a problem with the fiber link A miss configured serial port faulty wiring or other noise sources are the likely causes of these errors A2. the setup program will request a system re boot This re boot should be 7 performed on the first installation Prizm Monit e o A PMon Icon will be installed on the Windows Desktop Double Click this Icon to run the program To begin polling the Modem boards PMon needs to know 1 The serial port used to communicate with the RS 485 diagnostic network 2 The Serial Numbers of all the installed Prizm Modem boards This data is entered on the PMon Setup Page so this page should be a new user s first place to visit The first time you run PMon after installing it will automatically go to the Setup Page You may return to the Setup Page at any time using the F8 key See section 4 1 for information on the Setup Page Page 3 of 11 MOOG Components Group PMON User Manual V2 1 March 13 2009 3 General Operation PMon is designed to look and act more like a control panel than a typical Windows program The screens contain combinations of buttons text displays multi color lamps LED s and bar charts The left and upper most portions of the PMon display panel are fixed and contain critical indicators and controls The rest of the control panel the majority is used to show a variety of pop up status pages Just the fixed part of the panel is shown below ALARM ACK F9 An alarm indicator is located in the Top Right corner This indicator is normally gray but it changes to RED whenever a new alarm occurs Depending on the type of al
