Hardware Configuration

Each piece of hardware has a specific reference number. These are linked
to give a hardware configuration number (see Figure 1.3) for the whole
unit. The first part of the number refers to the enclosure and any modules
forming part of the basic unit, and each subsequent part of the number
refers to an option module. Refer to Chapter 3, Options and Upgrades for
the possible positions of each option module.

Build Revision

The build revision refers to the physical status of the enclosure and any
option modules at the time the equipment was shipped from the factory. It
is NOT the same as th e Build version, which relates to softwar e and
firmware.
1.2 Role of the Encoder in a System
