This article describes an easy method to verify CMD port input signal proper functionality on VSD-E/XE drives.
==Setup==
Connect drive to GDtool and follow the instructions below.
[[File:VSDtestInput1.png]]
# Configure "User bit"
# Select input to be tested from configuration dialog
# Click Ok
# Click Set
# Go to Device status tab
[[File:VSDtestInput2.png]]
# Monitor "User configured input" status bit and see if it changes as you toggle the selected input signal on CMD port. Green means that drive reads input value as logic 1 (or 0 if invert option selected).

'''Note:''' this method doesn't verify fast toggling signals. Status page update interval is 1-2 seconds so shorter than 2 second pulses may not change status color.

+Opto-in 3-4 can't be tested this way because these are shared with serial traffic and would interfere with GDtool connection. However, working GDtool connection proves that inputs 3-4 are working because connection wouldn't be possible otherwise.
