-
I/O Bus Integrity Check: Detects communication errors and anomalies on the VME backplane.
-
Real-Time Fault Detection: Identifies hardware failures before they cause system trips.
-
5000-Event Diagnostic Log: Detailed fault logging with timestamps for comprehensive post-event analysis.
-
Predictive Maintenance: Tracks temperature and voltage trends to predict potential failures.
-
Service Port: RS-232 port for direct service access without network connection.
-
Hot-Swappable: No rack power-down for replacement.
-
Direct Retrofit: Replaces older XDIAG series boards.

-
Temperature Monitoring: Review temperature trends periodically—identify cooling issues before failure.
-
Hot-Swap: Remove/insert slowly under power.
-
Spare Stock: Maintain 1 spare per 3–4 racks.
-
ESD: Handle by edges with grounded wrist strap.
-
Storage: Anti-static bag at –40 to +85 °C.
