29. Computer readable media containing program instructions for interfacing a plurality of systems associated with locomotive operation to a main controller of a locomotive, the computer readable media comprising:
-
a computer program code for communicating a respective set of time-dependent diagnostic information for each system of said plurality of systems from each system of said plurality of systems over each of at least one interface to said main controller, each of at least one interface positioned between each of said plurality of systems and said main controller including a main display; a computer program code for segregating said main display into a plurality of portions, each portion for respectively displaying synchronized time-dependent diagnostic information for at least one system of said plurality of systems; and a computer program code for simultaneously comparing the respective synchronized time-dependent diagnostic information of each at least one system of said plurality of systems within respective portions of said main display.
