System Component Information
The Precis DSP displays system information in its splash screen* for diagnostic purposes. The
information indicates the current status and well-being of the system components.
The splash screen can be accessed using a terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal
(see page 30). One of four verbosity** settings is specified, which provides either a list of the five
system components with minimal information (FIG. 9) or a level of detailed information on one of the
five components. Only one verbosity setting and one component setting can be entered in a command.
The order in which the verbosity and component settings are entered is interchangeable.
* AMX reserves the right to add to the contents of the splash screen at any time, without notice.
** Verbosity (i.e., wordiness) refers to the amount of information provided; the higher the verbosity
setting, the more information is displayed.
