    - To Perform a PCH Tx/Rx Test (Acuity® Only)
      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 (Acuity® Only)
      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.
