Manage response times with the Ping tool

Use the Ping tool to view, create, and manage PI Ping points. PI Ping points store data about the response times of Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo requests, or pings, between a computer where the PI Ping Interface runs and any remote network computer. You can use PI Ping points to measure latency of a TCP/IP network. PI Ping points can be useful when you diagnose network connection problems.

We provide the PI Ping basic interface with every Data Archive; PI Ping Interface is sold separately and allows more points. For more information about PI Ping interfaces, see the Customer Portal.
