3 Compare the serial number of each dSPACE board (label on each
board’s bracket) with the one shown in the Board Details property
page of the Platform/Device Manager to make sure that your
applications are still loaded to the correct dSPACE boards.
n After using the Clear System command, you must
reregister all installed dSPACE boards that do not
support plug & play or where plug & play mode is
disabled by means of the address switches.
n It is your responsibility to check and ensure that all
applications are still loaded to the correct board.
Since this is not under complete control of the
dSPACE software it might even be necessary to
change external connections to the boards! In a
subsequent release of the Platform/Device Manager
it will be possible to assign board names to the
particular boards as needed.
