Softing introduces the new Version 2.10 of its PROFIBUS Diagnostics Suite which comprises numerous functional enhancements.
The integrated oscilloscope now offers a separate presentation of the individual levels of line A and B against GND besides the determination of their differential signal. Furthermore, the trigger and scale options were significantly enlarged and the sampling rate can now be changed. Through optimizing the measuring algorithm, the time to determine the actual topology was remarkably reduced. An easy to understand bar graph indicates the progress of the measurement. The trend measuring was improved and now offers an overview which considers all nodes on the network in addition to the single-node evaluation. From May 15, 2012, users of Softing’s PROFIBUS-Tester can download the software update from the Softing website free of cost.
