• Displays system firmware version.
• Displays hardware type and unit.
• Displays serial number.
• Displays DRAM ID.
• Displays device ID.
• Displays system region.
• Displays CPU, GPU and EMC clocks.
• Displays whether the switch is in docked/handheld state.
• Displays IP Address.
• Displays storage sizes for SD, NAND (user) and NAND (system).
• Displays various system statuses. (Bluetooth, WLAN, NFC, etc.)
• Displays battery percentage and charging status.
• Displays if battery charging is enabled.
• Displays if ample power is supplied.
• Displays wireless RSSI signals and quality.
• Displays battery voltage sate.
