Welcome back.
Is the reason for your question that you want to know whether you need to upgrade the firmware?
In that case, the safest way to check whether a firmware update is available is to execute the most recent
fut-tool (Flash Update Tool) and to watch the "Programming status", whether it's "Up-to-date" or not.
You find the last recent version in the driver tab of the product page on the web server.
Please note: A prerequisite for the FUT tool to work is the installation of the MADIface driver.

Regarding your question, the two releases of ADI-2 Pro
I think you got this information from the README file in the fut-tool, but you shortened the text.
Otherwise you might have noted "HW Rev" in front of 6 and 7, which means "Hardware Revision".
ADI-2 Pro series (Hw Rev 6): FPGA 267, DSP 128
ADI-2 Pro series (Hw Rev 7): FPGA 414, DSP 128
From that, you can deduce that different "hardware releases" of this unit are meant.
Most likely this refers to
- ADI-2 Pro, the initial version without FS clock and which didn't have the auto-dark feature, released in 04/2016 and
- ADI-2 Pro FS, the updated version with FS clock and with the new auto-dark feature, released in 03/2018.
D/A converters, technical specs and other features (besides auto-dark) are the same.

I hope this answers your question. Nice rest weekend to you.
