System Device Monitor

The System Device Monitor is a tool that you can use to monitor the activity of all of your IMPRES devices. You can access the System Device Monitor by clicking on the System Device Monitor in the Navigation Panel.

The System Device Monitor shows a tree with the name of each computer that is running IMPRES Battery Fleet Management and/or Radios and Batteries if there is any battery data that is collected via Radio. Beneath each computer node, a node with the name and firmware version of each IMPRES device that is connected to the computer is displayed. Beneath each device node, a node is displayed showing the Pocket Number (if the device has more than one pocket) and the Serial Number of each battery inserted into a pocket of the device.

The System Device Monitor tree has the following controls as well as a context menu that will display when you right click a node in the tree:
