A little out of order: On the OID's .. you may have the wrong OID. There is an oid for the title strings, and an oid for the value. You may want to check the oid you are using. In addition, on the strings tab, there *are* strings which list the specific statellite and signal strength of all of the sats it is receiving a signal from.
One more troubleshooting item is the 'pulse received' counter on the analog tab. It should increment once and exactly once per second. I've had good luck comparing this value over a specific time. I.E. at exactly 10 minutes, there should be exactly 600 more pulses. As far as fixing it: I'd move the syncpipe, then try a different one. If a second does the same thing, then we need to look at what else might be causing it. If you want to send in screenshots to [email protected] of the boolean/analog/string tabs from the sitemonitor, I might be able to see something. -forrest On Sep 29, 2014 1:40 PM, "Bill Prince via Af" <[email protected]> wrote: > > One of our many locations where we're using a Packetflux sync > pipe/injector seems to be losing satellite lock once every few days. > Typically it loses it for 2 to 4 seconds, but I've seen at least once where > it went 13 seconds. > > I've not been able to get useful information from the SiteMonitor because > the satellites tracked/Visible OIDs are returning a string with "Sats in > View" and "Num Sats Used" instead of the actual values.
