Printed messages list the date and time, the category of system activity, and the message
text. By default, messages are not printed at run time.
By default, your application is set up to show diagnostics messages automatically at run
time. If you want to use the default settings, you don’t need to do anything further to set
up diagnostics messages for print and display in FactoryTalk View ME Station.
The messages that are printed and shown depend on how you set up FactoryTalk
Diagnostics on the run-time computer:
For applications running on personal computers, use the Diagnostics Setup tool to set
up diagnostics message logging. For information about using the Diagnostics Setup
tool, see Help.
For information about setting up FactoryTalk Diagnostics on the PanelView Plus 7,
PanelView Plus 6, PanelView Plus, or PanelView Plus CE terminal, see the PanelView
Plus Terminals User Manual.
For applications running on personal computers, you can also view the run-time messages
in the FactoryTalk Diagnostics Viewer, as described on page 10-5.
If you don’t want to show diagnostics messages in FactoryTalk
View ME Station
In FactoryTalk View Studio, in the Diagnostics List Setup editor, clear the Display
name box, or clear the four Open display automatically when boxes.
Set up how messages are shown and printed at run time
Follow these steps to set up how diagnostics messages are shown at run time:
1. In FactoryTalk View Studio, in the Diagnostics List Setup editor, specify which
messages to print, the graphic display to use, when to open the graphic display, and the
maximum number of messages to store.
2. If desired, modify the default [DIAGNOSTICS] display, or create your own graphic
display to use for diagnostics messages. For example, if you don’t want the operator to
clear all messages at once, edit the default display to remove the clear all button.
For information about graphic displays, see Chapter 19.
