The [DIAGNOSTICS] display
When you create an application, it comes with a graphic display called [DIAGNOSTICS].
The [DIAGNOSTICS] display is the default display for showing diagnostics messages at
run time.
You can use the [DIAGNOSTICS] display as is, or modify the display. For example, you
can change the color of the objects, or add and remove buttons. Or, you can create your
own graphic display to use for showing diagnostics messages. In the Diagnostics List
Setup editor, specify the display to use.
The diagnostics list graphic object
The [DIAGNOSTICS] display contains a diagnostics list graphic object, which lists the
diagnostics messages. For more information about the diagnostics list, see page 10-12.
Buttons in the [DIAGNOSTICS] display
The [DIAGNOSTICS] display contains diagnostics list buttons for clearing the messages,
as well as buttons for scrolling the list and closing the display. For information about how
the buttons work, see page 10-13.
Create your own diagnostics display
You can create your own graphic display for showing diagnostics messages, containing a
diagnostics list graphic object and the buttons the operator needs for using the display.
If you create your own graphic display, use an On Top display and select the Cannot Be
Replaced option.
For more information about the diagnostics list, see page 10-12. For information about the
buttons you can use with the list, see page 10-13. For information about creating graphic
displays and graphic objects, see Chapter 19 and Chapter 20.
