Diagnostics
Diagnostics allows you to test the functions of a single Alpha® sign
or a network of Alpha® signs. Diagnostics can:
• transmit messages or beeps to a sign.
• receive specific information (serial address, firmware version, time,
temperature, and so on) from a sign.
• set specific information (date, time, temperature, and so on) on a sign.
• reset a sign.
• clear a sign’s memory.
Diagnostics can only be launched through the Start menu
(Start>Programs>AlphaNET>Diagnostics). Any changes you make
within the Diagnostics application will be saved and appear the next time
you open it.
For the best diagnostic result, perform one Diagnostics function at a
time. A log file, which contains a record of each function Diagnostics is
asked to perform, is automatically created and stored in the same
directory as the software itself.
