The Statistics in Mission Control
Mission Control is the main FIX/iFIX tool for monitoring background tasks, such as
SAC, Historical Collect, and I/O drivers. Using Mission Control, you can start and
stop a driver, and view driver statistics. This is useful for quickly determining if the
driver is having a problem. Driver errors are not displayed to DRVST fields in
Mission Control. Use the Power Tool to view error text.
Mission Control also provides a summary of driver-level statistics. To see the
statistics for each channel, use the SI7 Power Tool.
NOTE: The Next Channel and Prev Channel buttons are not supported by 7.x
drivers. Do not use them.
The Datascope
The SI7 I/O driver provides a datascope to help you troubleshoot any errors or
problems you may encounter. The datascope lets you see the characters being
transmitted and received in each message. To display the datascope, select Datascope
from the Options menu.
The Data Monitor
In addition to a datascope, the SI7 driver provides a data monitor so you can examine
the contents of individual datablocks. To use this tool, select the datablock you want
to examine and click the Data Monitor button.
The Windows Event Viewer
The driver reports any major errors to the Windows Event Viewer. To learn more
about using this application, refer to Using the Event Viewer.
