The Monitor menu is used to monitor FC/SA bus controllers on a connected network. In the Monitor mode the FIT monitors communications occurring on the bus and report the status of the devices communicating.
When powered and connected to the bus if the FIT automatically displays the health bars, then communication is occurring and the Monitor mode is entered by depressing the Enter Key. See Figure 9.
In the Monitor mode, the FIT monitors communications and report:
- The number of devices online
- The address of each device online
- The communication bus voltage levels of the device
Note: See
Voltage Levels
for more information on bus voltage levels.
To scroll through the rest of the communication voltages for each controller address, keep depressing the return key once for each device address. If you hold down the Return Key, the display automatically scrolls through the voltage readings.
