Interfacing
Setting the 8-Bit Configuration Switch
reset. All other previously stored configuration settings are still being kept in
non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM).
In this manner you can store more than one set of parameters, for example,
for GPIB and RS232, using the same 8-bit configuration switch twice.
Forced Cold Start Settings
Firmware update procedures may require this mode in case of firmware
loading errors.
Unlike GPIB and RS232C settings, using these settings does not force storage
of this set of parameters in non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM).
Returning the switches 1 and 2 to other positions (other than being both up)
will allow for normal operation.
Forced cold start erases all methods and data stored in non-volatile memory.
Exceptions are diagnose and repair log books which are save from being
erased.
If you use the following switch settings and power the instrument up again, a
forced cold start has been completed.
Forced Cold Start Settings
Mode Select 1 2
TEST/BOOT 1 1
To return to normal operation, set switches back to your GPIB or RS 232
configuration settings.
Stay Resident Settings
Firmware update procedures may require this mode in case of firmware
loading errors.
Unlike GPIB and RS232C settings, using these settings does not force storage
of this set of parameters in non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM).
Returning the switches 1 and 2 to other positions (other than being both up)
will allow for normal operation.
