High resolution X-ray spectral observations of Puppis A were performed with the FPCS on the Einstein Observatory at three regions of the remnant: the shock front, the bright eastern knot, and the interior. Plasma diagnostics of lines from OVII and OVIII constrain the values of electron temperature, ionization timescale, and hydrogen column density. We compare results of the diagnostics for these three regions. A non-equilibrium analysis of previously published fluxes of oxygen lines shows that the interior has not yet reached ionization equilibrium.
