After assignment, the available diagnostic signals are automatically added to the Analog and Digital tabs.

The signals are all enabled by default.

Analog diagnostic signals

Signal name

Description

Messages received since configuration

Number of received data telegrams (in) since start of acquisition

Messages sent since configuration

Number of sent data telegrams (out) since start of acquisition

Messages received since connection start

Number of received data telegrams (in) since the start of the last connection setup Reset with each connection loss.

Messages sent since connection start

Number of sent data telegrams (out) since the start of the last connection setup Reset with each connection loss.

Connection attempts (in)

Number of attempts to establish the receive connection (in)

Connection attempts (out):

Number of attempts to establish the send connection (out)

Connections established (in)

Number of currently valid data connections for reception (in)

Connections established (out)

Number of currently valid data connections for sending (out)

Disconnects (in)

Number of currently interrupted data connections for reception (in)

Disconnects (out)

Number of currently interrupted data connections for sending (out)

Retransmission requests

Number of data telegrams requested again (in) in case of loss or delay

Connection phase (in)

Status of the ibaNet-E data connection for reception (in)

Connection phase (out)

Status of the ibaNet-E data connection for sending (out)

Ping time (actual)

A feature of the connection quality for the Ethernet:

In regular operation, a ping to the ibaNet-E device is performed every one second and the measured time is displayed here.

The shorter this time is, the better the connection quality and the more reliable the data transmission.

For the synchronization at the start of the acquisition and sporadically during the acquisition, this ping is performed at a much higher frequency.

Time offset (actual)

Measured time difference of synchronicity between ibaPDA and the ibaNet-E device

Lost images

Number of lost images (in) that were not received even after a retransmission

Digital diagnostic signals

Signal name

Description

Synchronization

The device is synchronized for isochronous acquisition.

This is always mandatory at the start of data acquisition, but can also be performed sporadically during data acquisition.

Connected (in)

A valid data connection for the reception (in) is available.

Connected (out)

A valid data connection for sending (out) is available.
