Diagnostics is a tool within PROSOFT that allows the user to check the status of outputs, inputs, and interfaces of the connected central unit. It also provides the possibility to change the status of certain outputs and functions. Real-time event monitoring is another key feature.
This makes Diagnostics the ideal tool during project start-up or for error detection.
Important: Diagnostics is only available when PROSOFT is connected with a running Central Unit.
PROSOFT will automatically connect with the Central Unit when you open the .nbt5 project file, if the PC is on the same network.
When connection is established, the Diagnostics icon turns green
When you select Diagnostics from the Extra menu (or click on the icon), PROSOFT opens a new window like the example below:
The buttons allow you to select the type of output, input or other function.
The Relays windows will open automatically when Diagnostics starts.
Diagnostics is Efficient and Powerful
TELETASK tries to make device setup and support as simple and powerful as possible. A good example is the use of diagnostics for climate control; both locally on-site and remotely. You don’t need to go to an ATMOS, OPUS, or PENTUS to fully control and test a zone.
The same also applies to audio zones: In PROSOFT 5 diagnostics, you can view and control all configured audio zones. This makes testing and debugging very efficient – whether during initial configuration or when a customer adds a new audio device to the installation.
If you have a REMOTE SERVICES subscription for the installation, you can also perform these actions remotely from your PC or laptop.
Example: Audio zones
In this example, there are three audio zones:
• Living and Bedroom are both SONOS devices
• Kitchen is a DENON HEOS player.
You can immediately see:
• The current state of each zone
• What is playing now
• Volume feedback
• Which source is active
You can also control all aspects of a zone, just like as you would do on an OPUS or PENTUS device or in the ATMOS app.
Example: Climate Control
You have full control of every zone:
• Change the target temperature
• Select a preset
• Switch the zone on or off.
• Change the fan speed
