How to Run a Diagnostic Test on a Controller
Retrieving diagnostic information from a Q.station or Q.monixx controller for troubleshooting.
Retrieving diagnostic information from the controller can be performed using an auto-run script that executes automatically when a USB drive is connected to the controller. The diagnostic script collects system information without modifying or affecting the controller configuration.
- Take an empty USB drive and format it to FAT32.

- Copy the auto-run script
autorun.shto your USB drive from the following location: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Gantner Instruments\GI.bench\additionals\Scripts\Controller\Diagnostic - Insert the USB drive into your controller while the system is running.
- Wait for the controller to restart, observing any changes in LED states, or wait for at least 5 minutes if no changes occur.
- Disconnect the USB drive from the controller.
👉 To confirm the process was completed successfully, you can perform the following steps:
- Plug the USB drive into a PC.
- Check if the ending of autorun.sh changed from .sh to .xxx (if not, the script was not executed).
- Check if there are *.txx files on the drive and a directory called 'config'.
- Zip the content of the USB drive and email this to your local technical support representative.
