Yes, the GSDX file shall be delivered to the PI testlab for evaluation latest after finishing all other tests. The lab will verify that the GSDX file contains the same GSD file that was used for the certification tests. So far, the different tester applications using the GSDML file only, because they are not capable of loading GSDX files directly.
