• Condensed : <0/SWR?
(returns the firmware version numbers running under Boot, Bulk1, and Bulk2, in the
form B.B.BB)
• Detailed : <0/FRW?
(returns the complete information of the firmwares running under Boot, Bulk1, and
Bulk2 in the form FW- AAAAAAA B.B.BB DD/MM/YY,
where:
• FW-AAAAAAA = the firmware part number
• B.B.BB = the firmware version number
• DD/MM/YY = the firmware release date (Day/Month/Year)
