Appendix C – APDiagnostics
Overview
APDiagnostics is a software application that monitors and displays advanced diagnostic information
about the Epica DGX 32.
(APDiagnostics also works with other AMX AutoPatch products that are
capable of reporting such data.) This application is available on the
AMX AutoPatch CD
or at
www.amx.com
.
