## Testing
You can test channels by connecting Ethernet RJ45 cable. Since the artiq_sinara_tester allows to choose only one DIO
port, you will need to run the test 4 times and choose different output source and track that every 4th is passing the test.
It is also incompatible with other TTL cards, so you will need to use same or other LVDS card for proper testing.

1. Connect a RJ45 output port to a input port
2. Run `artiq_sinara_tester`
3. One TTL will pass while other will fail
4. Run `artiq_sinara_tester` again and increment the stimulus (e.g. `ttl0->ttl1->ttl2->ttl3`) until all channels on the input port passed at least once
5. Plug into to another input port and repeat 2-4 until all input ports are tested
It is incompatible with other TTL cards, so you will need to use same or other LVDS card for proper testing.
