The TTD should be able to provide information about its hard-/software configuration.
A production or quality manager wants to know the available test procedures that can be performed on a TTD in order to schedule upcoming test-jobs. The TTD delivers a list of test procedures. Each test procedure is characterized by the following properties:
- TestProcedureId
- Description
- ProcedureReferences
- IsProcedureLicensed
A production or quality manager wants to know the available exchangeable parts of a TTD in order to schedule upcoming test-jobs or plan maintenance. Exchangeable parts for example are load cells, clamp types, jaw faces and others.
For the identification of an exchangeable part, the following information is provided:
- Name of the exchangeable part
- PartId of the exchangeable part (this can be an Id or a serial number of the part)
- LastCalibrationDate of the device
Additional to the information about the exchangeable part itself the following flags are provided:
- Mounted indicates if the exchangeable part is currently mounted in the device or not.
- Traceable indicates if the part is traceable or not. A part is traceable if it has a part id or serial number.
- MachineReadable indicates if the PartId is machine readable
A production or quality manager would like to know which tester modules are installed in a testing device for the purposes of test planning on a dashboard, control station or mobile device.

The following information about a tester module are exposed:
- ModuleName the name of the module.
- ModuleType the type of the module. E.g. hardware or software.
- IsInstalled indicates if the module is installed on the TTD or not.
- Version the version of the soft-/hardware module.
