1.1 Software history
The "Electronic Revision" (ER) is consulted to document the revision status of electronic
equipment according to NE 53 for all GDC devices. It is easy to see from the ER whether
troubleshooting or larger changes in the electronic equipment have taken place and how that
has affected the compatibility.
