Set up runtime diagnostics

Use the
Diagnostics List Setup
 editor to set up when to print messages at runtime, the graphic display to use and when to open it, and the maximum number of messages to store.
TIP:
Diagnostic error messages may appear truncated if they are too long for the diagnostics window. To ensure that error messages are shown in full, use the FactoryTalk Diagnostics Viewer to show these messages on the desktop terminal and at design time. For applications that run on
PanelView Plus 7
 or
PanelView Plus 6
 terminals, configure the FactoryTalk Diagnostics Viewer to accept messages from Windows CE devices. From the
Tools
menu, select
Diagnostics Setup > Message Routing
to select the check box for this option. Click
Help
in the
Message Routing
 pane for more details.
To change the setup of a Diagnostics List
  1. Double-click the
    Diagnostics List Setup
     icon to open the editor.
  2. In the
    Log messages to printer when
     section, specify the types of messages you want to print, if any. Be sure you have set up a printer on the runtime terminal.
  3. In the
    Runtime display
     section, specify the graphic display to use for diagnostics messages at runtime and what events, if any, will open that display automatically.
  4. Specify the maximum number of messages to store.
