gantner_err

Purpose:

Monitor “UDPTimestampErr” errors from a Gantner driver.

Enter:

gantner_err <watchdog_timeout> <max_errors>

Where:

watchdog_timer

Specify the number of seconds after an error is detected before the watchdog is killed. The default is 60 seconds.

max_errors

Specify the maximum number of errors per minute. This number of errors will be allowed within a one minute period from the time the first error is received. After one minute, the error count is reset to zero. If the number of errors detected exceeds this value within 1 minute, then the shutdown actions are taken. The default is 10 errors.

Example:

gantner_err 60 10 &
The above command spawns gantner_err in the background and will send an email to the ‘quality_email’ address if 10 “UDPTimestampErr” events are detected in less than 1 minute:

Notes:

This task is normally started in the go script that starts CyFlex.

Issue the ‘abort_limit’ event to initiate an engine shutdown.

Kill the watchdog output after 60 seconds (note that the watchdog can be restarted by typing the command “setev GantErr_reset”).
