Set up diagnostics lists
The diagnostics list graphic object shows run-time information about system activity:
 Information messages, such as messages about tag assignments, tag read and
write activity, and macro usage.
These are system-generated information messages. They are not the same
messages as the information messages you create and show in the information
message display object.
 Warning messages.
 Error messages, such as messages about communication errors, invalid values,
and unassigned connections.
 Audit messages about tag writes and tag write failures.
FactoryTalk View comes with a default graphic display called [DIAGNOSTICS] that
contains a diagnostics list object. You can use the display and object as is, customize
them, or create your own.
For more information about using diagnostics lists, see page 10-12.
