Default Diagnostic App for HD I/O like Digitest?

Does anyone know if there's a diagnostic App for the HD I/O like Digitest does for the HDX card?

They are mostly same boxes. Only differences being blue DigiDesign branded frontplate changed to grey Avid-branded frontplate.

Sarcasm aside, the new boxes get new firmware if Avid decides the firmware needs to be changed. Old ones do not. And the AD/DA cards on the new boxes are better. Also the new chassis is only one of a kind and can hold any combination of cards (which are better). Old boxes had three different chassis and not one of them could be configured 16 analog in 16 analog out.

But as far as DigiTest is concerned, the old and new boxes test just the same.

I'm not sure you're understanding my question or if I asked it clearly enough. I know DigiTest can run a diagnostic on my HDX card. What I'm curious is if there's a way to run any sort of diagnostic app on an HD I/O 16x16 analog interface to check for any errors on the cards or other aspects of the box. I do not see any way in Digitest to do this as you guys have suggested. Please advise if I'm missing something.

Thank you, @JFreak. My firmware is already up to date and I see no other diagnostic tools for the HD I/O. The manual says the digitest diagnostic is for the Avid HDX/HDN cards only.

You don't see information about your interfaces' slots? If it can see AD card for example it means diagnostics has passed. If the card is failing, then the card is not seen. That is about all the diagnostics you can run against an interface. There are only firmware version of chassis and status of the four slots to be diagnosed.

Yes, I do. I didn't realize that the listing of the HD IO's in the slots was the sign that they had passed. Thank you for taking the time to explain that and for your help. I really appreciate it. Btw, everything passed
