Diagnostics

The Diagnostics menu provides tools for verifying a connected display, inspecting live data, and replaying logs. These pages act on the live device or on log files — they are not part of the saved configuration.

  • Test Functions

    Trigger camera and installation test actions on a connected display.

  • Live Plots

    Real-time channel plotting while connected to a display.

  • Module Control

    Enable or disable display backend modules at runtime.

  • Log Replay

    Upload, select, and replay log files through Display Studio.

Subsections of Diagnostics

Test Functions

Diagnostics → Test Functions

Test Functions send one-shot commands to a connected display so you can verify installation without building a temporary screen layout.

Camera

ActionWhat it does
Show Camera Full ScreenShows the camera overlay full screen on the display
Hide Full Screen CameraHides the full-screen camera overlay
Select Camera Input 1–4Switches the active camera input

Use these after wiring cameras to confirm the correct input and that full-screen preview works on the device.

Audio

Audio test actions appear in the list for future installation checks. Some may be disabled until the audio feature is available on your firmware.

Requirements

  • The display must be connected to Display Studio.
  • Configuration write is not required for these one-shot tests; they drive live device behaviour.

Live Plots

Diagnostics → Live Plots

Live Plots shows real-time traces of selected channels while the display is connected. Use it to verify sensors, maths outputs, and timing channels without leaving Studio.

Using Live Plots

  1. Connect to the display.
  2. Open Diagnostics → Live Plots.
  3. Add the channels you want to watch (from the plot toolbar / channel picker).
  4. Use the time plot controls to pause, zoom, and scroll as needed.

For longer capture and offline review, configure Logging and download logs from Home, or use Log Replay for files already on the PC or device.

  • Live channel list: View → Show Live Data (F8)
  • Onboard logging: Logging

Module Control

Diagnostics → Module Control

Module Control lists backend modules running on the connected display. You can enable or disable non-critical modules at runtime to isolate problems or free resources while testing.

Using Module Control

  1. Connect to the display.
  2. Open Diagnostics → Module Control.
  3. Optionally filter the list with the search box.
  4. Click Refresh to reload the module list from the device.
  5. Use Enable / Disable on a module.

Always-on modules

Some modules are marked Always on. They cannot be disabled at runtime because the display needs them for basic operation.

Notes

  • Disabled modules stay off until you re-enable them or the device restarts (then the normal startup set applies).
  • Prefer this page for temporary diagnostics. Permanent feature configuration belongs in the normal Setup / Functions menus.

Log Replay

Diagnostics → Log Replay

Log Replay plays back recorded channel data so you can review a run without the vehicle running. Use it with logs downloaded from the display or files you upload from the PC.

Logs list

ActionDescription
RefreshReload the list of available logs
Upload…Add a log file from the PC (e.g. .elo / product log types supported by the dialog)
DeleteRemove an Uploaded log from the local list (device logs are not deleted from the display here)

Select a log in the list to load it for replay.

Channels

After a log is selected, pick which channels to include in the replay stream. Use the search field to find channels by name.

Playback

Use the replay controls (play / pause / seek as provided on the page) to move through the recording. Live data and gauges that listen to the same channel stream will follow the replayed values while playback is active.
