System Overview

The System Overview displays a summary of the system you are currently connected to.

The Diagnostic Suite interface uses circular coloured icons (Green/Amber/Red) containing either a tick, a question mark or a cross. Hover the cursor over the icon to reveal a tool tip which provides a short description of any problems.

Users can select various elements within the system overview to explore the system diagnostics in greater depth. Some items, for example, chassis, inputs and outputs can be explored by clicking on the dropdown triangle icon next to an item.
