| FDI Host Test Kit Updates - New Tests and Associated FDI Packages | ||
| FDI Host Conformance Test Specification FCG.TT10031 | - Section 5: Offline Root Menu – Common HART and FF Offline Variable Tests (formerly part of section 6 that only covered HART) - Section 6: EDD Device Templates and Offline Configuration Files – Common HART and FF Tests (created from former section 9 HART tests and part of former section 6.2 FF Tests and then made common to both HART and FF protocols) - Section 7: Common Upload & Download Menu Tests – Common HART and FF Upload and Download Menu Tests (created from previous section 7 HART tests) - Section 9: Data Modelling - HART Conditional Evaluation Tests based on current cache (e.g. edit cache) – New Test Cases - Section 10: Validity – HART Variable Tests with Conditional Validity – New Test Cases - Section 11: Visibility – HART Menu/Sub-Menu Item Visibility – New Test Cases - Section 12: LAYOUT_TYPE = COLUMNWIDTH_OPTIMIZED – Common HART and FF Tests – New Test Cases - Section 13: LAYOUT_TYPE = COLUMNWIDTH_EQUAL – Common HART and FF Tests – New Test Cases - Section 14: Future Download Menu Tests (waiting for FDI 1.3 Specification) | |
| HART Host Test Kit Updates | ||
| EDD and FDI Source Files | - No longer in PDF format - Now provided with FDI IDE project files so that all EDDs and FDI Packages can be rebuilt by a license holder. | |
| Known Issues | ||
| FCG.TT30694: 1. DD v5.2 Template Support tests in section 2.9 are expecting FF Datatype OCTETSTRING to be displayed as a text string derived from the hexadecimal value of the variable. Currently published EDDL Syntax and Semantics (FCG TS61804-3, Ed. 4.0 section 9.1.15.11.2) defines a DISPLAY_FORMAT for the OCTETSTRING Datatype. To be displayed as a string, the DISPLAY_FORMAT must be "s". At the time of the release of Host Test Kit 1.0, neither FF tokenizer allows a developer to use DISPLAY_FORMAT for OCTETSTRING. Until these discrepancies are resolved in future spec and product releases, it is acceptable for an FF Host to display the OCTETSTRING parameter in these DD v5.2 Template Support tests as EITHER the string value found in the specification or the equivalent ASCII hexadecimal values of this string. | ||
