@aGlance Client: Diagnostic Tags

The IDX @aGlance client recognizes a number of predefined tag names as built-in diagnostic measurement tags. These tags are useful in obtaining an overview of the health of the @aGlance client-server connection. In order to use these tags, they may added, in any quantity and any order, to the existing slot pool when an @aGlance client is running. The slots can then be configured to be read through an existing connection or by using an OPC server to make the data available via an OPC client, for example.

The diagnostic tags are defined as follows:
