• EPLD
- tests the EPLD firmware. If all EPLD firmware is the same, all the modules will turn
green. If there are modules with different firmware, all the modules connected to
those PLRs will turn red.
• Micro
- tests the Micro firmware. If all Micro firmware is the same, all the modules will
turn green. If there are modules with different firmware, all the modules connected to
those PLRs will turn red.
• Hardware Id
- tests the hardware ID versions. If all the hardware ID versions are the
same, all the modules will turn green. If there are modules with different hardware ID
versions, all the modules connected to those PLRs will turn red.
• Temperature
- available for the
Module (ProLink 5)
device type only, this tests
