ABSTRACT:
A method for diagnosing devices via a remote testing device (1) which is connectable to devices (31to34) to be diagnosed via a communication network (2) is proposed, wherein said diagnosing is performed by exchanging diagnostics information between said remote-testing device (1) and said devices (31to34) to be tested via said communication network (2). Said process of exchanging diagnostics information is at least partially done by using a communication protocol being based on XML-scripts which include said diagnostics information. The advantage of this method is a lean and platform-independent way of diagnosing devices, which enables to avoid unnecessary efforts and costs.
