Open and close the diagnostics display
Open the display
The diagnostics display you specify in the Diagnostics List Setup editor (either the
default [DIAGNOSTICS] display or a display you create) is automatically opened
whenever a diagnostics message of the specified severity occurs.
The display remains open until the operator closes the display.
If you decide not to open the diagnostics display automatically, you can create a Goto
display button that the operator can press to open the diagnostics display. For information
about setting up a Goto display button and specifying the display to open, see Help.
Close the display
The operator can close the display by pressing a close display button.
How the diagnostics list graphic object works
At run time, when a severity of system activity occurs that you’ve set up to log, a message
about the activity is added to the diagnostics list. The diagnostics list can be in the
[DIAGNOSTICS] display, in a diagnostics display you have created, or can be placed on
any display in your application.
You can use multiple diagnostics lists, in the same display or in different displays. Each
diagnostics list shows the same information.
For information about setting up diagnostics lists, see Help.
What is shown
 If the message is too long to fit in the list, the last shown character is replaced with an
asterisk (*).
 The number of diagnostics messages that is visible at one time depends on the height
of the diagnostics list and the list’s font size.
 Messages are listed with the newest diagnostics message on top.
