What type of TDM card is in my DACS?

Sometimes it is very helpful (particularly to ASTi when you call in with a problem) to know exactly what type of card is running in your system, so here's how to figure it out:
  1. From Model Builder's main menu go to "Waveform DSPs" and select "Times".

  2. Page 2 of 3 displays the field "DSP Board Version".
    • The surface-mount (SMT) TDM currently has a version of v9.00.
    • The PC-104 TDM currently has a version of v7.00
    • The through-hole TDM currently has a version of v6.08

  3. Look at the far-right column of the "DSP Memory Usage" section.
    • The SMT TDM appears as "TDMn".
    • The PC-104 TDM appears as "TDMp".
    • The through-hole TDM appears as "TDM".
