Selecting a profile and module ​

A profile selects the application area; a module selects a protocol or family of systems. The interface has two fields: Profile and Module. Both Tracer and Monitor use the selected module. Tracer keeps the message sequence; Monitor summarizes recurring observations.

See the tool overview for available workflows. Access requirements are described under account and beta license.

DriverBridge and McpBridge provide adapter connectivity and MCP client access.

Selecting a module ​

  1. Disconnect if the connection is open. Profile switching is disabled while connected.
  2. Select the area and module in the profile menu, or open Settings → Application → Profile.
  3. Select the adapter and line parameters in connection settings.
  4. Open Tracer or Monitor and connect to the source. To analyze a saved trace, use Load in Tracer.

The quick menu shows modules covered by the license. Settings show the complete catalog, including locked entries; their presence does not mean they are included in the beta.
