Address Verification

The Address Verification aims to provide an overview of all current drivers and their connections, along with the present state for both.

The Address Verification panel can be accessed via System Management > Drivers > Address Verification. By selecting a driver or a connection in the left-hand panel, you can perform the address verification for the selected element.

The results are listed on the right-hand side of the panel.

Filter for driver and connection

This part of the panel shows all drivers and connections and can be filtered by Running drivers, Active connections, or by a specific driver or connection.

The tree element shows all currently known drivers with an icon for their connection state. Possible states are:
  • driver running: The driver is currently running.
  • driver stopped: The driver is stopped or was not started.
  • connection established: The connection to the device has been established.
  • device stop: The connected device is in the "STOP" state.
  • no connection: There is no connection to the device.
The table below provides the number of all, active, inactive, and wrong addresses corresponding to the driver or connection.

Please note that the displayed number of erroneous connections of a driver may differ from the number of errors of the respective connections. Errors that cannot be directly assigned to a connection are also counted. Furthermore, the display of the respective connections is not periodically updated in order to minimize the effects on write performance during operation. The information can be updated at any time using the UPDATE DATA button (refresh).

Below the area is the checkbox Expand/Collapse all drivers, which allows all drivers and connections to be quickly fully displayed or reduced to an overview.

This area displays details for the selected driver and/or the selected connection. The selection is shown above the area.
