Communications tab

The Communications tab shows the devices on the network available to the computer
hosting RSLinx Enterprise. Use this tab for setting up network types and browsing
devices on the configured networks.

For more information, see Chapter 9, Setting up communications. For details, see the
RSLinx Enterprise Help.

Diagnostics List

The Diagnostics List shows information about system activities. It’s located above the
status bar at the bottom of the FactoryTalk View Studio main window.

You can hide, move, resize, and clear messages from the Diagnostics List.

Use the Diagnostics Setup tool to select the types of messages that are shown in the
Diagnostics List. For details, see “Message routing” on page 15-2, or click Help in the
Diagnostics Setup tool.

Diagnostic messages are preceded by a blue, yellow, or red icon. Blue indicates
information, yellow indicates a warning, and red indicates an error.

To show or hide the Diagnostics List

In FactoryTalk View Studio, from the View menu, select Diagnostics List.

When Diagnostics List has a check mark beside it, the list is visible.

To move the Diagnostics List

1. Click and hold the grab bars at the bottom left of the Diagnostics List.

2. Drag the list to its new location. To prevent the Diagnostics List from docking

automatically, press and hold the Ctrl key as you drag.

As long as it is undocked, you can resize the Diagnostics List. To do this, click an edge or
corner of the list, and then drag until it’s the size you want.

If you can’t see the grab bars, drag the top edge of the Diagnostics List, to make it larger.

To detach the
Diagnostics List,
