Configuration Test Purpose
Configuration: Verify that both DCS conventional and FF control and
I/O configuration is done in similar way and on a consistent configurator.
Offline Configuration: Verify that FF configurations may be made
off-line , e.g. when no physical I/O is connected to the system.
Displays: Verify that conventional and FF points operate consistently
on faceplates, & custom graphics.
Operator View: Verify on-line changes, saves, historization, trending
and alarming is consistent for conventional and FF.
