Display Node Communications

Before choosing ‘Display Node Communications’ either from the TestTools menu or the
Nodes menu, a node must be selected in the Device List.

Non-DMX traffic between PM5 and the chosen node will be shown. When there are no
problems, about every six seconds PM5 will receive an ARP from the node. PM5 will
then send a ‘Get Properties” request, which the node will answer.

If there are communication problems between PM5 and the node, they will be reported
here, in various ways, dependent on what the problem is.
