What is the Diagnostics Tool?
The Diagnostics tool allows users to communicate with ADS monitors
to perform several critical tasks, such as generating activation data,
activating and deactivating monitors, collecting data, uploading
monitor parameters, setting the monitor time, and checking the
hardware status. It also allows you to set the communication
parameters, view historical diagnostic logs, diagnose devices, perform
confirmations, and perform offline site data reviews.
When to Use the Diagnostics Tool
Use the Diagnostics tool during the Monitor Configuration and
Activation phases of the project to activate monitors and perform
confirmations and throughout many other phases of the project to
conduct system operation and maintenance activities. It is the primary
tool for running diagnostic tests on system devices, collecting data in
the field, obtaining current system status and sensor readings, and
performing many other system-related operations. Refer to Chapter 1,
Introduction, for more information.
