4.3 APPLICATION BUILDER/ VIZAPP INSTRUMENT COMMUNICATION MESSAGES
When using the Application Builder Software to communicate with a MODCELL or MOD
30ML instrument, the software provides numerous messages, which inform the user about
the communication activity. The messages can appear during database downloading,
uploading or importing activities, and during communication activity initiated through the
instrument status display. They appear either in pop-up windows in the display workspace or
on the status bar at the bottom of the display screen.
These messages include both status and error information. The status messages simply
provide the user with information about a specific communication activity. For example, the
message Downloading
notifies the user that the software is in the process of transmitting a
successfully compiled database to an instrument. The error messages provide the user with
information about communication problems. For example, the message No response was
received
notifies the user that the personal computer is not communicating with the
instrument, possibly because the configured ICN or Modbus address is incorrect.
A list of the messages is provided in Table 7. The messages are listed in alphabetical order.
The table includes information about the probable cause of each message appearance and
recommended action as appropriate.
