NameMapping.Sys.browser.pagePlus1Connect2.panelRoot.panel.panel.link.panel.Click();
NameMapping.Sys.browser.pagePlus1Connect6.link.button.Click();
let currentfirmware = NameMapping.Sys.browser.pagePlus1Connect2.panelRoot.textnode4.contentText;
Log.Message(currentfirmware);
Log.Message(Project.Variables.RC1);
Delay(2000);
if(currentfirmware == Project.Variables.RC1)
{
Log.Message(currentfirmware);
}
else
{
Log.Message("fsfgsd");
}
