Global Profile

The values in parentheses are the default values provided by RCT.

Test Management Settings

These settings are intended to simplify test management. They do not affect how the tests are run or their results. The items marked with an *asterisk are used in organizing the Summary Report.

  • Company
  • *Product Name
  • *Product Version. No particular format is required.
  • Tested By

Global Test Parameters

These settings apply to many different tests.

  • 250MS Timing Tolerance (10 ms). All tests requiring an event within (or after) 250ms is allowed this much error.
  • 50MS Timing Tolerance (5 ms). All tests requiring an event within (or after) 50ms is allowed this much error.
  • Identifying DGN. RCT uses this to find the DUT on the network before most tests can start. Pick a status DGN that the device transmits frequently automatically. The value is in hexadecimal (e.g. WATERHEATER_STATUS -> 1FFF7).
  • Identifying Instance. Used in combination with the Identifying DGN to find the DUT. If the DGN does not have an Instance field, enter FF.

Miscellaneous Settings

Most users, most of the time, will leave these settings at their default values.

  • Clear Text Log at Start (Yes). You may wish to turn this off when you are continuously repeating a test, so you can compare the results easily.
  • Restore Omniscope Mute/Echo Modes After Test (Yes). If you are running Omniscope tools other than RCT at the same time, you may need to manually control these Omniscope settings.

Profile Storage

The .ocf file is an ordinary text file which stores the profile settings in key-value pairs. Here is an abbreviated example:

:Program COMPTEST
:Version 1.0.0
:Created Monday, December 08, 2025  at 08:45:27
:SET Company=Rabblefish LLC
:SET Product Name=RG150
:SET Product Version=1.03
:SET Tested By=Martin Perlot
:SET Clear Text Log at Start=Yes
:SET Restore Omniscope Mute/Echo Modes After Test=Yes
:SET 250MS Timing Tolerance=10 ms
:SET DSA For Address Claiming=253
:SET Manufacturer ID=111
:SET Full ADDRESS_CLAIM Value=47 53 FF 0D 33 FF 00 80
:SET DSA Category=Appliances and Bridges
:SET Identifying DGN=0001FDE6
:SET Identifying Instance=255
:SET Perform Extended Test A-100=Yes
:SET Extended Test Target Address=220

You may edit the file directly using any code or pure text editor. Take care to preserve the Program COMPTEST line at the top and the :SET prefixes. Any line that does not start with SET will be ignored.
