For vision projects where print statement is used, where can you see the print statements actually print out? ---

It is in the output console of the client diagnostics window: [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/system.gui.openDiagnostics](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/system.gui.openDiagnostics) ---

Where would I run this? I tried opening up console and putting that and no luck. Where would I run this function and where would I see the client diagnostics window? ---

You don’t have to run that function unless you’ve hidden the Vision Client’s menu. You can open the diagnostics from the standard Vision Client’s “Help” menu. ---

Do you want to see the results while running a client or are you in the designer? Are you using it in a component script, a tag event script, a shared script? In the designer you can click Tools\>Console and any print statement you are using on a component on a window will print out there. To see that same output from a client, you will need to open the client diagnostics window. ---

Trying to help out a co worker. He is running a live client. Would that just be from Help–\>Diagnostics? And if you are in the designer you would use tools–\>console? in the designer would you need the window open and “running” in order to see the print statements? Thanks ---

The designer has both the tools-\>console and help-diagnostics windows (same content). The diagnostics console will collect print and logger output even when not yet opened. ---

In the live client, you can also press CTRL+SHIFT+F7 and Diagnostics window will show… ---
