4 Configuration and Operation

4.4Board Information Diagnostics

To assist in diagnosis of configuration problems and reporting hardware details when encountering problems, a diagnostic display feature is available in s7_mgt.

When s7_mgt is run with the –d command line option, a diagnostic display of board hardware parameters is generated in this format following configuration of the board.
