Operating Basics
The Command Monitor Tool
The Command Monitor tool can help you develop an application program while
you operate the VX4610 with either the simulated front panel or the Command
Builder. The Command Monitor records command, query, and response traffic
between the UI4610 Software and the VX4610. You can choose to record
incoming only, outgoing only, or bidirectional traffic. By recording only
outgoing commands during a session, later you can copy the recorded communications into a text editor or your application program. Figure 2–4 shows an
example of bidirectional communication traffic recorded by the Command
Monitor.
NOTE. Communication traffic generated or received by the Talk/Listen tool is not
captured by the Command Monitor tool.
Figure 2–4: The Command Monitor window
You can use the Command Monitor in two ways. In one method, the Command
Monitor buffer records and displays communication traffic while you use the
simulated front panel or the Command Builder to operate the VX4610. At any
time, you can save the content of the buffer to a disk file. In the alternative
method, you use menu items in the Command Monitor window to start and stop
a process of saving communication traffic directly into a disk file. For either
method, the Command Monitor window must remain open or be reduced to an
icon during the recording process.
You can adjust the Command Monitor window to any size that is convenient.
Make it larger to see more commands or make it smaller to take up less space.
File Menu
Use items in the File menu of the Command Monitor window to control the
recording and printing of communication traffic.
