Profitrace Version 2.6.3
PROCENTEC has released their new
version of the Profitrace and in true PROCENTEC style have added some new and
useful features.
Some of you may not know but in version 2.6.2, PROCENTEC released
the ability to search through the GSD catalogue (list of loaded GSD files) by;
Ident Number, Model Name, Vendor Name, Found in Live List or by the Last
Network Scan. This is very useful when setting up a device.
The latest offering that
PROCENTEC has brought to the table is the ability to see the all the device's
oscilloscope images displayed on the Live List. The advantage of this is that
you can see all the waveforms in one view. The normal Profitrace oscilloscope
functionality filters the oscilloscope images based on the responses of a
single slave, when that slave has been selected you will only see the waveforms
from that device. When networks are very large, you would need to view every device's
waveform on the network to determine if there are problems, at times this can
be tedious.
To some this new feature may seem minor and unimportant but to be
able to have a holistic view of the network means that there is less chance
that something has been over looked. This can help you to diagnose the problem
faster and result in shorter down times.
