This window is a print preview of a point-to-point wiring diagram, which you use to trace wiring signals. Smart Instrumentation uses wire groups, group level and group sequence data to follow a signal along a series of wires and check for any discontinuity. You can also do the following from this window:
-
Select
to magnify the diagram details.
-
Save a diagram as an external file.
-
Archive a revision according to the preferences that are set by the Domain Administrator in the Administration module.
-
View a list of archived point-to- point wiring diagram revisions.
To open a print preview of a point-to-point wiring diagram, you first select a wire
in the Connection window or a channel in the I/O Assignment window. You then select 
on the module toolbar, and select Yes in response to the print preview prompt. Note that you can influence this functionality
by your selections under Print preview options, on the General tab of the Preferences dialog.
