Claim:
1. A Sub-Diagnostic Module incorporated into a System Module, the Sub-Diagnostic Module used to retrieve time synchronized diagnostic information and correlate the information to diagnose multi-device issues on an Aircraft in real time, the Sub-Diagnostic Module can be used to autonomously generate a warning event to potentially resolve issues or at least provide a warning to a network system, the System Module mounted on Nodes used on the Aircraft, the System Module connected to a local host processor and a 1394 serial bus, the Sub-Diagnostic Module comprising: a diagnostic signal interface connected to a diagnostic signal evaluation logic, the signal interface and the evaluation logic used for evaluating at least one signal to determine an event; at least one register connected to the evaluation logic, the register for recording an event as determined by the evaluation logic; at least one log memory connected to the register and the evaluation logic for recording the event as determined by the evaluation logic and register; a timer connected to the register for providing a high resolution time stamp offset; and a Phy clock connected to the synchronized timer.
