2 Click Show Card Versions to display version information for the SmartBits chassis
and installed cards. Below is an example of the window you will see. The window will
vary depending on the modules you are using:
Note: In the multi-user interface, SmartWindow does not display card information unless
the chassis is connected and the specified card is reserved. Only the component firmware
version numbers are displayed in the SmartWindow Help About window, not the overall
firmware release number. For information on reserving SmartCards/modules, refer to the
documentation for the application that you are using.
