Device Engines

Select or begin typing in the search-as-you-type field to search for and select a device engine to filter the list by. Use the following options to further filter device engines:

• Show active only: Select to have the list display only active device engines.
• Show Connected/Disconnected Only: Select the checkbox to filter the device engines by connected or disconnected status. From the drop-down list, select Connected to have the list display only device engines that are connected to the system. Select Disconnected to have the list display only device engines that are not connected to the system. Disconnected is the default option. Device engines set to the PRSQRL Interface Type are not included in the filtering.
• Device engine version older than: Select the checkbox to filter the device engines by age. Enter a date in the fields or use the calendar icon to select a date. The list will display only device engines that are older than the date you selected. Device engines set to the PRSQRL Interface Type are not included in the filtering.

Select or begin typing in the search-as-you-type field to search for and select one or more testing facilities to filter the list by. The testing facilities you select appear in a list below the search field; to remove a testing facility from the filter, clear its Select checkbox.

Select or begin typing in the search-as-you-type field to search for and select one or more interface types to filter the list by. The interface types available in the search will be a distinct list of interface types that have at least one associated interface in the system. The search results display a Show Active Only checkbox that's selected by default; however, clear the checkbox to display inactive interface types.

The interface types you select appear in a list below the search field; to remove an interface type from the filter, clear its Select checkbox.

Device engines set to the PRSQRL Interface Type are not included in the search results because they do not have associated interface type records.

Select or begin typing in the search-as-you-type field to search for and select one or more device engine versions to filter the list by. The versions available in the search will be a distinct list of version numbers currently in the system. The search results display a Count column next to each version indicating how many device engines are running that version number.

The device engine versions you select appear in a list below the search field; to remove a device engine version from the filter, clear its Select checkbox.

Device engines set to the PRSQRL Interface Type are not included in the search results because they do not capture version numbers on that interface type.

Use the following options to further filter device engines by functions:

• Instruments and Middleware: Select to have the list display device engines for instruments and middleware.
• Label Printing: Select to have the list display device engines for label printing.
• Document Printing: Select to have the list display device engines for document printing.
• Faxing: Select to have the list display device engines for faxing.
• File Transfer: Select to have the list display device engines for file transfers.

Device engines set to the PRSQRL Interface Type are not included in these search results since PRSQRL-type device engines do not have interfaces that use these interface types.

Select to add a new device engine using the Device Engines details page.

Displays the device engine ID (name). Select a device engine in the column to display the device engine's details page with more information, such as the ID, active status, configured interface types, and supported interface types for the selected device engine.

Displays the version date received while a device engine initially connects. Updates when the device engine or Orchard Enterprise Lab system is restarted.

Displays the connection status of the device engine. The text "Connected" in green text displays here if a heartbeat from the device engine has occurred within its Consider disconnected after configuration (see the "Adding or Editing Device Engine Details" section below). The text "Disconnected" in red text displays otherwise.

Displays the list of testing facilities that use the device engine. This is configured in the device engine's details page; see "Adding or Editing Device Engine Details" below. 

Displays the timestamp of the most recent activity heartbeat or the last time the device engine performed a handshake.

Displays the timestamp of the last table record received from the device engine. 

Displays Yes or No depending on whether the Active checkbox is selected on the device engine's details page.

Enter or edit the device engine's ID. This is a required field.

Select a type of device engine from the drop-down list. 

• Orchard Device Engine
• PRSQRL: Only available with a toxicology license, select this option to designate the device engine as a PRSQRL type, which will alter how it sends orders and receives results. 

Select to set a password for the device engine on the Set Host Password pop-up. Each device engine must be assigned a password to continue functioning. This password must be the password entered during the installation of the device engine.

Add text in the Password and Confirm Password fields followed by selecting Save to set the password. Passwords must be at least eight characters and include at least one letter, one number, and one special character. Select Cancel to close the pop-up without setting a new password.

When a password is set, the Set Host Password button turns green and italicized.

Select to open a Logs pop-up, where you can request log exports from the Orchard Device Engine and view them. The pop-up includes a table displaying previously exported logs. Logs are displayed starting with the newest entries and include a timestamp of when the log was generated, the name of the file, a download link, and a delete button.

Request New Logs: Select this button to request device engine–level logs, which include queues, settings, thread health, and system information. If an outbound log request was already generated in the last 5 minutes, the system will prompt you to confirm your request for an additional log file. Requesting new logs will generate an outbound Device Engine command on AdminCenter > Monitor > Outbound Queue that the Device Engine will read at its next polling interval. New log files may take several minutes to parse, compile, and return depending on the entity and size of the log file being compressed. Device Engines check for new commands approximately every 30 seconds.

Delete old logs: Select this button to purge log files older than 30 days. 

Download: In the Download column, select the Get Link button to generate the archived zip file. The Get Link button will be replaced with a Download hyperlink to save the exported log file.

Refresh: Select to regenerate the displayed rows of previous exports.

Note that this Request & View Logs button is specific to the device engine–level logs. If you need to work with logs from a specific instrument interface, navigate to the desired interface accordion and select the Request & View Logs button there.

Select to open a pop-up that displays all interface types that are supported by the device engine. The list of supported interface types are organized in alphabetical order. Select the letter accordion representing the first letter of the interface type you're looking for; all interface types starting with that letter appear in a list. Select or begin typing in the search-as-you-type Search field to narrow the list of letter accordions.
