Note
To operate several diagnostic connections at the same time, you can start NCM
S7 Diagnostics more than once.
You can also start NCM S7 Diagnostics twice with an online connection to the
same CP; this can, for example, be useful if you want to monitor the diagnostic
buffer at the same time as running diagnostic functions on a connection.
Requirement: You have an online connection available via the LAN (ISO or
TCP/IP) on the one hand and an online connection via the communication (K) bus
on the other (alternatively via the CPU or via PG channel routing via a further CP).
