Retrieve Diagnostics
Associated with: SCADAPack 50 Outstations.
Security permission required to access this pick action: Retrieve Data.
Use this pick action to instruct the device to send diagnostic information to ClearSCADA. The device will not receive the action request until it has sent at least one more set of data SMS messages. Therefore, the action will not take place immediately.
Select the Retrieve Diagnostics pick action to display the Retrieve Diagnostics window.
- Type of Diagnostics—Select a combo box option:
- Request 'Send Diagnostic SMS'—Instructs the device to send dynamic diagnostic information, such as the battery level or the number of SMS messages sent by the device.
- Request 'Send Diagnostic and Data SMS'—Instructs the device to send dynamic diagnostic information as well as the device point data. When the device undertakes this action, it will have just sent a set of data messages. Therefore, you need to consider whether you want the device to send another set of data messages immediately afterwards.
- Request 'Send First Time Install SMS'—Instructs the device to send static diagnostic data, such as the device's serial number or software version.
Select the OK button to confirm your selection.
NOTE: If you are using this pick action with the Automation Interface, you need to specify the method name RetrieveDiagnostics.
