Introduction


OSIsoft’s PI-Ping Interface program determines the latency of a TCP/IP network. In particular, PI-Ping measures the response times of ICMP echo messages (i.e., “pings”) that it sends to a remote machine. Accordingly, this program can help the user in diagnosing network connection problems between machines residing in a TCP/IP network.

PI-Ping comes in two versions: a regular (full) version and a limited version known as PI-Ping Basic. The latter has the following limitations:



  • it gets data for up to 32 PI points,

  • only one copy of the program may be running at a time,

  • it runs only on a machine that is also running the PI Server version 3.3 or higher, and

  • it sends data only to this PI Server machine

PI-Ping Basic is installed as part of PI Server v3.3 and higher.

The filename of PI-Ping Basic is piping_basic.exe. The filename of the regular version of PI-Ping is PIPing.exe.

The following table summarizes the differences between the regular and basic versions of PI-Ping.

PI-Ping runs on a Microsoft Windows NT version 4.0 SP6, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows 2003 Server computers. Unless otherwise noted, the remainder of this document uses the term “Windows” to refer to all these platforms.

PI-Ping does not require any special hardware. A standard network interface card on the Windows machine is sufficient.
