General

The four subtabs in the Dashboard window provide access to card diagnostics software:

• Inputs
• Outputs
• Expansion
• Other

The user can perform the diagnostic of each card separately, or run a full diagnostic of all unit cards.

Inputs

The Inputs menu presents a list of the input cards installed in the system. The status column indicates whether any errors have been detected. Detailed diagnostics tests for each card are performed by selecting the diagnostics button under the action column.

Outputs

This menu presents a list of the output cards installed in the system. The status column indicates whether any errors have been detected. Detailed diagnostics tests for each card are performed by selecting the diagnostics button under the action column.

Expansion

This menu presents diagnostics for the Expansion card. The status column indicates whether any errors have been detected. Detailed diagnostics tests for each card are performed by selecting the diagnostics button under the action column.

Other

This menu presents diagnostics for the Motherboard and all VPU cards. The status column indicates whether any errors have been detected. Detailed diagnostics tests for each card are performed by selecting the diagnostics button under the action column.

Note: Note that the Motherboard diagnostics test also provides status information for the power supplies.

Diagnostics

Note: Running diagnostics will disrupt output videos. Diagnostics should only be run with no inputs or outputs connected. Do not run diagnostics during live production.

Select the Run Diagnostic button for any slot, and the unit generates a detailed report with a Pass or Fail indication.

Note: FPGA temperatures may reach as high as 85ºC under normal operating conditions. Temperatures above 85ºC may affect processing performance.
