depending on which truck has been connected.
Note!
You must know how the truck is configured. The node list also lists
possible option nodes. These nodes may be present in the truck. If,
for example, SEU is present in the truck and is functioning, the node
should be detected as OK. SEUopt/Not OK either means that SEU is
not present in the truck or that the node is present but is not OK.
