The analysis master exchange is the currently selected node. The file is automatically saved with file name _ANLZ<node no>.TXT
  • Single Exchange Commands: This will analyse and report:
    • Mis-match between User number and Station number
    • Mis-match between Station number and User number
The analysis is done on the currently selected exchange. The file is automatically saved with file name _ANLZ<node no>.TXT
