Device Diagnostics
Device diagnostic messages may appear as a result of the PM172 built-in
diagnostic tests performed during a start-up and device operation.
To enter the Device Diagnostics dialog, check the On-line button on the PAS
toolbar, select Device Control from the Monitor menu, and then click on the
Device Diagnostics tab.
All diagnostic events are recorded to the Event log and can be inspected via
PAS (see
Viewing the Device Event Log
). The diagnostics status is also
recorded to a non-volatile register, which is not affected by loss of power and
may be read and cleared via communications or via PAS.
