File and data management
Log files
Log files generated by the CIC Pro center application, other associated applications,
and the CIC Pro center operating system are used during system analysis, problem
diagnosis, and troubleshooting. See Access log files on page 10-14 for more
information.
RWHAT packets
All monitoring devices on the CARESCAPE Network periodically broadcast
information about themselves in “RWHAT” packets. Among other things, RWHAT
packets contain IP address, port number, name, and offered services information
about each device.
All monitoring devices listen for RWHAT packets, and maintain a database of
information about other devices on the network. When devices need to communicate,
the appropriate IP address information is obtained from the database, CARESCAPE
Network-protocol messages are created, and operating system services are used to
transmit the message on the network.
For example, when a CIC Pro center computer communicates with a telemetry
device, the telemetry device’s IP address is retrieved from the CIC Pro center
computer RWHAT database, the CARESCAPE Network messages are created, and
the CIC Pro center Windows operating system sends the messages to the telemetry
device.
Storage
The Full Disclosure (FD) Data interface uses the CARESCAPE Network IX
network to retrieve data from the database.
Each bed is stored in a separate directory, containing one index file and many
record files.
Printing
The FD Page printout is a configurable, time-period (license dependent)
overview of waveform activity. It is activated by clicking the print button located
in the top right corner of the FD Page window.
The FD Strip printout is a quick snapshot of what is currently on the screen. It is
activated by clicking the print button while the FD Page is being viewed.
There is a separate full disclosure printer selection from the main laser printer
selection on the setup page. Specifying a printer here does not advertise this CIC
Pro center as a print server on RWHAT (like the main laser selection). It is used
exclusively by the local full disclosure system. A printer must be “Added” to the
operating system before it will show up in the drop-down list.
