Identifying the PosIO-Monitor Expansion Card Firmware Version

To find your Pos I/O-Monitor expansion card's firmware version you need to check the following commands via the TERMINAL screen of the DriveGUI software. First you need to distinguish in which slot your Pos I/O-Monitor expansion card is inserted: 

Slot 2

If the Pos I/O-Monitor expansion card is inserted in slot 2, you need to type the command: MEMW 40000FF0 N8.The result is (for example):

MEMW 40000FF0 = (0x0000, 0) 
MEMW 40000FF2 = (0x0000, 0) 
MEMW 40000FF4 = (0x0000, 0) 
MEMW 40000FF6 = (0x0000, 0) 
MEMW 40000FF8 = (0x0000, 0) 
MEMW 40000FFA = (0x0000, 0)        -> 0 = I/O & analog,  1 = I/O without analog part 
MEMW 40000FFC = (0x000B, 11)      -> firmware version 11 
MEMW 40000FFE = (0x2002, 8194)  -> card layout: 
                                                                       2001 = card layout 1 
                                                                       2002 = card layout 2         

Slot 3

If the Pos I/O-Monitor expansion card is inserted in slot 3, you need to type the command: MEMW 30000FF0 N8.The result is (for example):

MEMW 30000FF0 = (0x0000, 0) 
MEMW 30000FF2 = (0x0000, 0) 
MEMW 30000FF4 = (0x0000, 0) 
MEMW 30000FF6 = (0x0000, 0) 
MEMW 30000FF8 = (0x0000, 0) 
MEMW 30000FFA = (0x0000, 0)        -> 0 = I/O & analog,  1 = I/O without analog part 
MEMW 30000FFC = (0x000B, 11)      -> firmware version 11 
MEMW 30000FFE = (0x2002, 8194)  -> card layout:  
                                                                       2001 = card layout 1 
                                                                       2002 = card layout 2 

As FW 5:33 there is a macro variable for the version number This can be queried via the terminal input command: 
-> M POSIOVER                                                            | as feedback you receive (or similar) 
-> POSIOVER [SYSTEM] 02000E64 WORD = 0x000E    | here so version 14 or Hex 0E
