Abstract of the Disclosure A diagnostic arrangement is disclosed for use in conjunction with communication system to detect scanning difficulties. More specifically, duplicated scanners synchronously but independently provide reports indicating changes of state of a plurality of scan points. These reports are first buffered at the scanners and then transmitted over data links to a remote processor where the reports are compared. A mismatch indicates either a malfunctioning scanner or other scan point difficulty. To pick a scanner which is providing correct reports, simulation means in each scanner are controlled, when the associated scanner scans the problem scan point, to cause the problem scan point to appear to assume one state and to cause all the other scan points to appear to assume another state. When each scanner generates a report for this problem scan point, each report is bypassed around a buffer for immediate transmission to the remote processor. Because the processor expects to receive a predetermined report, the "malfunctioning" scanner can be detected based upon analysis of the reports actually received.
