- Interfaces
The Location5 attribute specifies the debugging level for the PI point. Currently, the Interface supports a single level of debugging. When Location5 has a value of 1, the Interface displays information regarding its attempt to ping the remote machine.
The user should set Location5 to a non-zero value only at the request of OSIsoft's Technical Support. Otherwise, the Interface will fill up the log file with extraneous messages.
