Diagnostic Messages via Terminal
On boot the terminal window will display several messages detailing the boot up and conguration le load of
the unit, these are summarized below. If you require support on a WTP3 installation it is helpful to have a copy of
the conguration les in use and a log of a system boot to send to the WTP support specialist.
Error Types
Error messages are categorised into four types:
• Info
• Warning
• Critical
• Fatal
Info
General message displayed for information, e.g. software version number
Warning
An indication that a conguration error exists. The error does not need the system to stop, but requires user
attention.
For example, if a conguration le calls for a device that is not visible on the network:
Warning: nmeain.d : Serial Device 15 on CAN Channel 1 does not exist
Critical
An indication that an error exists that requires immediate user attention. Critical errors will not stop the system,
but the system is unlikely to operate correctly until the issue is resolved.
Fatal
Fatal errors will stop the WTP3 application from running. FTP access is normally retained. The user must rectify
the issue to use WTP3.
For example, if the le directory referred to in wtp_cong.d for the user les does not exist:
Fatal : Cong File Path does not exist : mydirectory
Conguration Consistency
At startup the system will attempt to cross reference the cong les for validity, ensuring the user has not:
• called the same COM port in multiple les, using dierent port settings
• called the same COM port in multiple les with dierent functions (e.g compass and GPS)
• assigned multiple analogue inputs to a single variable
In this case the system will output Warning messages to the user, as per the following examples:
Heel1 MHU_A_B Multiple Analogue Denition : 0 1 2
• “heel1” and “mhu_a_b” functions have been congured to the same port (channel 0, device 1, port 2):
