This service program code manually latches a snapshot that stores all parameter values for the previous five minutes and the following one minute. Each machine has the capability of storing two sets of snapshot information. Automatic latching is determined by the specified event. The event is specified in the configuration software and/or the event is enabled with the "ERSET" command. When a manual snapshot is started, one of the following three messages will be shown on the message area.
Illustration 1 | g00485808 |
The above message indicates that the request was accepted and the snapshot is latched.
Illustration 2 | g00485809 |
The above message indicates that the request was denied. The request was denied because the memory was not available.
Illustration 3 | g00485810 |
The above message indicates that the request was denied. The request was denied because the previous snapshot was still in the storage process.
The Operations Manual contains an explanation of the five minute snapshot. See the Operation Manual, JERD2136, "VIMS User Procedure Manual".
