Figure 8.1 Probus PA example label
The information enables a compatibility judgement for Device driver’s revision (DEVICE_REVISION).
If the DEVICE_REVISION fulls:
Dev_Rev_Comp ≤ DEVICE_REVISION ≤ Dev_Rev
the drivers are compatible with the device. E.g. an installed device driver (EDD or DTM) inside the host system
can be used with a newer device as long as the Dev_Rev_Comp parameter indicates that the MS1/MS2
related behaviour of the device supports the older version.
The DEVICE_REVISION is integrated in the le name of the EDD as number nn, e.g. lename_nn_xx.
