The first entry contains the latest event.
Each entry in the diagnostic buffer
contains the date and time the event
was logged, and a description.
The maximum number of entries is
dependent on the CPU. A maximum of
50 entries is supported.
Only the 10 most recent events in the
diagnostic buffer are stored
permanently. Resetting the CPU to the
factory settings resets the diagnostic
buffer by deleting the entries.
You can also use the GET_DIAG instruction (Page 285) to collect the diagnostic information.

Comparing offline and online CPUs
You can compare the code blocks in an online CPU with the code blocks in your project. If
the code blocks of your project do not match the code blocks of the online CPU, the
"Compare" editor allows you to synchronize your project with the online CPU by downloading
the code blocks of your project to the CPU, or by deleting blocks from the project that do not
exist in the online CPU.
Select the CPU in your project.
Use the "Compare Offline/online" command to open the
"Compare" editor. (Access the command either from the "Tools"
menu or by right-clicking the CPU in your project.)
Click in the "Action" column for an object to
select whether to delete the object, take no
action, or download the object to the device.
Click the "Synchronize" button to load the code
blocks.
