System Component Information

The Epica DGX 16 and 32 display system information in their splash screens* for diagnostic purposes.
The information indicates the current status and well-being of the system components.

Example of a default Epica DGX 32 splash screen
The splash screen can be accessed using a terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal
(see page 29). One of four verbosity** settings is specified, which provides either a list of the seven
system components with minimal information (FIG. 61) or a level of detailed information on one of the
seven 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.
Note: In a multiple-enclosure system, the splash screen displays information only for the enclosure
that is connected directly to the PC.
* 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.
