Card diagnostics

8.1
If you click on the ibaFOB-PlusControl interface in the tree structure of the I/O manager,
3 tabs appear in the right part of the dialog window showing the card properties.
Configuration tab
In addition to the image of the card the interrupt mode, addresses and memory regions
in the PCIe bus are displayed.
The graphic depiction of the card is dynamic, i.e. the 7-segment display with the card
number and the LEDs for the connection status reflect the same status that can be seen
on the card itself (see chapter 7.1 "Card configuration ").
 The displays and their meanings are summarized in chapter 5.6 "Indicators".
Info tab
Figure 15: Card and firmware information
Here you will find information about the card and the current firmware. Service and sup-
port features are also integrated, e.g. the reload of the FPGA and the firmware update.
Important note
An update of the firmware should only be executed after consulting the service and sup-
port department of iba AG. The respective file can be selected and loaded via the "Write
firmware" dialog.
