Running the FloPro/FloNet Communications Test Program

To run the FloPro/FloNet communications test program to test your installation and configuration of FloPro on the target computer:

  1. Open the project's Workbench.

  2. From the Tools menu, select Command Prompt....

  3. In the Command Prompt window, type the following command:

flopro_diag [<address>]

Where <address> is an optional argument and is the IP address of the target PC. If you do not supply this argument, the IP address defaults to 3.26.5.159.

When you run flopro_diag and select a nonexistent IP address or an IP address for a computer where FloPro is not configured, the output will show domain sizes of zero.

When you run flopro_diag for a target computer where FloPro is working correctly, it produces output like the following:

Target is IP address 3.26.5.159
