This is a collection of FAQs, which are of interest for clients of the IO-Link Master Tester.

Q: Loading of several IODD's by the device configurator dialog fails
     with error message e.g. 'Missing ProcessDataIn element in document'.

A: The version V1.0 of IO-Link Master Tester expects some optional XML entries
     as mandatory. This issue will be corrected in Version 1.1.

    <ProcessDataIn id="dummy" bitLength="0" />

     the connection fails.
     It is possible to change the source code of the DUT_IF DLL and build a new version
     (Source package is delivered on the Product CD). Please contact MESCO for support.
     The DUT_IF DLL V1.1.0 has an extendet timeout implemented.

     you can select it manualy in the installation directory.
