Diagnosis Report

(1) Clicking on the [Diagnosis Report] button displays detailed data such as board settings and the

diagnosis results while saving them in text format.

The results are saved and displayed as a text file (CntRep.txt) in the install folder (Program

Files\CONTEC\API-PAC(W32)).

The Diagnosis Program performs “board presence/absence check”, “interrupt test”, “driver file test”,

“board setting test”, and so on.

(2) A diagnosis report is shown below.

CAUTION

Before executing diagnosis report output, unplug the cable from the board.

Click on the [Diagnosis

Report] Button

* The name of the board
you have tested is displayed.
