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.

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).
