Viewing Serial Strings

in NetLinx Studio
In programmer 2 we were shown how to view serial strings coming into the NI on each port. I haven't used it and forgot. Could somebody remind me how to do this.

Thanks

    In studio, select DIAGNOSTICS>NetLinx Device Notifications Options>Add

    add your device, and select what you want to monitor

    dont forget to check off the Enable Asynchronous Notifications button on the lower left before clicking done.

    And don't forget the diagnostics window doesn't handle null characters properly. It treats them as a string terminator, and stops the display as soon as one comes through. The data still flows properly, just diagnostics stalls on the null so you don't see it.

    I added the port I wanted to monitor. I selected to see all incoming and outgoing strings, but It is not showing anything when I hit buttons. I can see the ni port sending messages. Is there something else I need to do?

    Did you include the correct system number?
