CHECKING OUTGOING COMMUNICATION

5.2.1. Serial

Once the route for a given port has been configured to point to an outgoing serial port, one can check if
data is being transmitted over that serial port using the following method:
1. From the Main Menu select Engineering/Debug.
2. Select Show task statistics.
3. Under the heading outgoing serial port statistics... you'll see a table whose rows correspond to
each outgoing serial port (S1 – S4). Figure 5-2 provides an example.
4. The column Out Cmds lists, in hexadecimal, the number of commands the 7700PTX-MVP has
sent out to each serial port.
