Communicating with a logical partition of a computing system based on a separate logical partition in which each of one or more computing systems includes a central electronics complex (CEC) capable of concurrently operating multiple logical partitions, each CEC includes a support element (SE), in which the SE includes access to memory locations of each of the multiple logical partitions within memory of the CEC, and the SE has a mapping of the memory locations for each of the multiple logical partitions. A request to retrieve data from the memory of a logical partition with an operational condition is detected. The request is transferred to an SE interface which enables remote access to the logical partition with the operational condition, and in response to receiving the data, the data that includes the operations status from the memory location of the logical partition is displayed.

An automatic setup backscatter particulate monitor includes a small source ( ) of narrow beam radiant energy directed into a gas stream containing particulates. A lens ( ) that is mounted behind the radiant energy source ( ) collects the energy reflected back from the particulates and concentrates it on a photodetector ( ). The beam is directed into duct at an angle greater than twice the beam spread, minimizing reflection off opposing wall surfaces. Internal radiant energy sources are periodically directed to the detector to verify system integrity. Backscattered energy is corrected for energy reflected from the opposite stack wall and for ambient energy.
