Thru Mode (Diagnostic Connection)
It is possible to communicate directly with a sensor attached to a MetStream using a
terminal program, allowing you to view/log the raw sensor data in real time and if
necessary re-configure the sensor.
NOTE: Data logging into the MetStream internal memory is DISABLED while Thru
Mode is active.
Enable Thru Mode
Connect the sensor to MetStream and open the MetStream IP address GUI on a PC web
browser as per examples in Paras 6.1 to 6.3.
Log in to Configuration screen and on the "Input Device Settings" check that is set to
match the attached sensor (Auto for a MetPak). It is not necessary to setup the number of
parameters or the fields. (If settings are changed it may be necessary to reload the page
and log back into the configuration screen).
Click on the Network Settings Page which shows Thru Mode TCP Port Number e.g. 8023.
Click on the Enable Thru Mode button on the left hand side of the screen.
The following warning screen appears, Click on OK (if using a crossover cable the page
will be 192.168.67.67).
MetStream will now re-boot to enable Thru mode.
Note:
The following warning screen does not warn when 1 minute is up; hence close the
MetStream Web browser window after clicking on ok.
