In the SIMATIC Manager you can specify which of the following options should be
displayed when you call up diagnosing hardware:

Short information (“Diagnosing Hardware - Quick View” dialog box) or

Detailed information (“HW Config - Diagnosing Hardware” dialog box)

In the second case, it takes STEP 7 longer to trace and display the data.

1. Select the menu command Options 

 Customize in the SIMATIC Manager.

2. Activate (default setting) or deactivate the option “Display Quick View when

Diagnosing Hardware” in the “View” tab of the dialog box.

The quick view only displays the CPU and those modules in which the CPU has
detected a fault (for example, diagnostic interrupt, I/O access error). You can
select a module and then call up the module status. This will provide you with
detailed diagnostic information, depending on the diagnostic capability of the
module.

You can use the “Open Station Online” button to display the diagnostic information
in its entirety. This provides you with a graphic overview of the whole station, as
well as information on the configuration.

If you wish to archive files, you can now also use the JAR archive program
(version 1.02 onwards) or the WinZip archive program (version 6.3 onwards) in
batch mode.

Projects which have long file names (beyond the 8.3 DOS convention) or deeply-
nested directory structures (with directories whose absolute path name exceeds 64
characters) should only be archived using the WinZip or JAR archive programs.
Using other archive programs does not guarantee that you will be able to unpack
the archive files in these structures completely or correctly. This applies in
particular to projects containing objects from the WinCC optional package.
