A vacuum pump comprising a device for generating a totality of diagnostic data of the vacuum pump suitable for an analysis to be performed at a remote analysis location; a retrieval device by means of which a provision of the totality of diagnostic data can be initiated on request; and a provision device which is configured to provide, as a totality, the totality of diagnostic data for transmission as a totality to the remote analysis location, wherein the provision device comprises a display on which the diagnostic data can be displayed, wherein the display is integrated into the vacuum pump or is arranged offset from the vacuum pump and is connected via a local data link to the vacuum pump, characterized in that the totality of the diagnostic data can be provided in an optically coded and compressed form on the display, wherein the totality of the diagnostic data can be provided in such a coded form that the totality of the diagnostic data can be acquired independently of local functionalities of the vacuum pump, which are provided for the normal operation on site, and can be transmitted to the remote analysis location via a communication link which does not have a direct wired or radio-based data link to the vacuum pump, and wherein the totality of the diagnostic data can be consecutively displayed in a plurality of images (32 1 - 32 n) on a display of the vacuum pump, wherein in particular the portions of the totality of the diagnostic data which correspond to the individual images (32 1 - 32 n) each represent a self-consistent subset of the totality of diagnostic data provided for the transmission to the remote analysis location. a device for generating a totality of diagnostic data of the vacuum pump suitable for an analysis to be performed at a remote analysis location; a retrieval device by means of which a provision of the totality of diagnostic data can be initiated on request; and a provision device which is configured to provide, as a totality, the totality of diagnostic data for transmission as a totality to the remote analysis location, wherein the provision device comprises a display on which the diagnostic data can be displayed, wherein the display is integrated into the vacuum pump or is arranged offset from the vacuum pump and is connected via a local data link to the vacuum pump, characterized in that the totality of the diagnostic data can be provided in an optically coded and compressed form on the display, wherein the totality of the diagnostic data can be provided in such a coded form that the totality of the diagnostic data can be acquired independently of local functionalities of the vacuum pump, which are provided for the normal operation on site, and can be transmitted to the remote analysis location via a communication link which does not have a direct wired or radio-based data link to the vacuum pump, and wherein the totality of the diagnostic data can be consecutively displayed in a plurality of images (32 1 - 32 n) on a display of the vacuum pump, wherein in particular the portions of the totality of the diagnostic data which correspond to the individual images (32 1 - 32 n) each represent a self-consistent subset of the totality of diagnostic data provided for the transmission to the remote analysis location.
