Hello Mars,
please see below.
correct. All of these commands are already part of the PigeonPoint framework. I don’t think there is a way to find out if the IPMC is in stand-alone mode. As I already said, this is for testing purposes only, e.g. for running a board on the bench without a connection to a shelf manager. However I do not understand the need for the user software to know whether the board is on the bench or in a shelf, the IPMC should behave in exactly the same way.
