The screenshot above is from the PowerDNA Explorer Demo. The “demo” is a
simulator for users without hardware or for new users who want to explore the
PowerDNA Explorer program without reading/writing to real hardware. Run this
program and hover your mouse over the buttons to read the tool-tips and learn
through interacting with the program.
Some quick notes:
To read from a board, click the fourth-to-last button: “Start Reading Input
Data”
To write to the board, change a value and click the fourth button with the
red arrow on top of the chassis: “Store Configuration”. The icon with the
blue arrow on it restores the configuration.
To change the IP address, change the number, deselect the field, and
“Store Configuration”. Take care not to set the IP Address to outside of the
network’s configuration subnet -or- to an IP address that is currently in
use, as the system will then become unreachable.
To obtain a hardware report, click View >> Show Hardware Report.
Refer to Section 5.2 for more descriptions of the PowerDNA Explorer Window.
