    - To Perform a PCH Tx/Rx Test
      The PCH Tx/Rx test allows you to test the various serial communications ports on the control panel. This test helps to diagnose communication problems with external devices that you may be having on a particular serial communications port on the control panel.
    - To Perform an LVDS Test
      The Low Voltage Differential Signalling (LVDS) test allows you to test the various communications between the Panel Communications Hub (PCH) and all the Panel Module Controllers (PMC) installed on the switcher. This test includes both internal and external modules.
    - To Perform a Tally Test
      The tally test allows you to test the standard parallel tally system of the control panel. A Tally Test Box is required to ensure that the tally relays are operating properly. The number of tallies you have available to test depends on whether you have the Extended Tallies option installed.
    - To Perform a PCI Bridge Test
      The Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Bridge test allows you to test the PCI bridge that is used to pass information between the control panel CPU and the PCH.

Panel Communications Hub Tests

The Panel Communications Hub (PCH) tests allow you to test the functionality of the PCH communication links with the various components of the switcher. Some of these tests require the use of a loopback adapter on the communications port.
