Introduction to PI Interface for Ping

OSIsoft's Ping Interface program determines the latency of a TCP/IP network. In particular, Ping measures the response times in milliseconds 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.

Note: The value of [PIHOME] variable for the 32-bit interface will depend on whether the interface is being installed on a 32-bit operating system (C:\Program Files\PIPC) or a 64-bit operating system (C:\Program Files (x86)\PIPC).

The value of [PIHOME64] variable for a 64-bit interface will be C:\Program Files\PIPC on the 64-bit operating system.

In this documentation [PIHOME] will be used to represent the value for either [PIHOME] or [PIHOME64]. The value of [PIHOME] is the directory which is the common location for PI client applications.
