The operating buttons (B) and the history read out (C) can be seen on the Diag History tab (A). The
components of the message:
• Info/Warning/Error
• Acknowledge flag (N = unconfirmed, Q = confirmed)
• Time stamp
• Text ID
• Plain text message according to ESI/XML data
The meanings of the buttons are self-explanatory.
