Instruction Manual – Enova DGX 8/16/32/64 Digital Media Switchers
Appendix C – APDiagnostics
APDiagnostics Overview
APDiagnostics is a software application that monitors and displays advanced diagnostic information about the Enova
DGX Digital Media Switcher.
(APDiagnostics also works with AMX Matrix Switchers that are capable of reporting such
data.) This application is available at www.amx.com.
System Requirements
Windows XP Professional or Windows 7 Professional
Java Runtime Environment (JRE): v1.5 or the latest version
Minimum Hardware: 166 MHz, 128 MB RAM, 20 MB of free disk space*, 800x600 display,
serial port
Recommended Hardware: 2.0 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 100 MB free disk space*, dual 1024x768 monitor
display, Ethernet port**
* The installation process requires 20 MB of disk space for the APDiagnostics installer and 200 MB of disk space for the
JRE v1.5 that is packaged with the installer (if required). Once installed, APDiagnostics requires 5 MB and JRE v1.5
requires approximately 100 MB of disk space.
** We strongly encourage using an Ethernet connection (instead of serial) whenever possible, due to the volume of data
involved with monitoring diagnostics. For additional information, see “Communications” on page 211.
