SETUP DIAGNOSTICS SCREEN


SETUP DIAGNOSTICS SCREEN

PaintTool Diagnostics allows you to set up a Data Monitor session that can be executed during each job in production mode. A session is started at the beginning of every new job and ends when the job is completed or cancelled. The recorded data is available at the end of the data monitor session.

Table 1.  SETUP Diagnostics Screen Items

ITEM DESCRIPTION

Default DMON schedule num

Values: 1 - 5

Default: 1

This item is the active or most recently run schedule. You should set this item to the value of the schedule that you want to run asynchronously. You cannot change this item if an asynchronous monitoring session is active.

Auto sample each job

Values: YES or NO

Default: NO

This item allows you to automatically start a monitoring session at the start of each production job. It end the session at job completion or when you abort the job.
  • YES: Data is recorded for each job. Asynchronous sampling is not permitted.

  • NO: Data is not recorded automatically. Asynchronous sampling is permitted.

Max data files stored

Values: 0 - 999

Default: 1

This item is used to limit the number of files stored on the destination device.
  • A value of zero indicates that file management features are not used, and that data will be stored in a single file as specified in the schedule and overwritten in subsequent sessions.

  • A value greater than zero indicates the number of sessions for which data will be stored. You cannot change this item if an asynchronous monitoring session is active.

Starting file index

Values: 0 - 999

Default:

This item is used only when Max data files stored is not set to zero.
  • A value of zero indicates file management features not used.

  • A value greater than zero indicates that the file created in the first session thereafter will have an index of that value (for example, a value of 5 indicates that the next session will have an index of 5).

Disable after max files

Values: YES or NO

Default: NO

This item is used to indicate how Data Monitor will handle data after the Max data files stored limit is reached.
  • YES - Data Monitor is disabled after maximum data files are stored.

  • NO - The file index is reset to the Starting file index value and data is overwritten.

Auto stop session at xxx KB

Values: YES or NO

Default: NO

This item automatically stops the data monitoring session when the estimated data file size exceeds xxx Kilobytes. You can change the value of xxx depending on the capacity of the device on which the data is stored. This feature is disabled when the current DMON schedule has Start item or Stop item enabled. The size of the data file is estimated based on the assumption that Data Monitor is continuously recording data during the entire session.

Asynch. start enable

Values: YES or NO Default: NO

This item indicates whether data monitoring is permitted.
  • YES - Asynchronous data monitoring is permitted.

  • NO - Asynchronous data monitoring is not permitted. This item is set to NO if Auto sample each job is enabled.

Sample now Values: START or STOP

Default: STOP

This item either starts or stops asynchronous data monitoring.
