B.5.3 Testing XGM868i Hardware
Using PanaView, you can check crucial elements of the XGM868i hardware: the EPROM, the NVR, the RAM, FIFO,
and the DAC. You can also:
•
program and test optional cards
•
read site checksums and calibration values
•
test and set the contrast for the LCD
•
set the number of channels (either 1 or 2), and
•
reinitialize the XGM868i to its default values.
Contact GE if the XGM868i fails any of the tests covered below.
