5.2.2 System Control

The system control group allows the RMU5 operation to be affected in several ways.
First, by pressing the "Restart Program" button, the main RMU5 application is restarted. This function is normally used
to put newly downloaded configurations or firmware into operation.
Next, the "Reset Hardware" button is used to reset the entire RMU5, including the OS. This is only used if the RMU5
starts behaving in an erratic fashion. Normally, this function will not be necessary.
The "Stop Program" button is used to stop the main RMU5 application. This operation is not normally used. If the
main RMU application is stopped, RMUSetup will cease to be able to communicate with the RMU5. In this case, it is
necessary to press and hold the front panel reset button for 10s to cause the RMU5 to restart. The RMU5 application
will restart automatically in that case.
An additional control is the "Set Clock" button. This allows RMUSetup to adjust the clock on the RMU5 to match the
system clock of the PC running RMUSetup. Note that if the RMU5 is equipped with the optional GPS timing control
module, the RMU5 clock is continuously adjusted to match the UTC time coming from the NAVSTAR GPS satellite
network.
Finally, the "Update Firmware" button is used to update the RMU5 application. After clicking this button, a
confirmation dialog will appear. When 'yes' is selected, the RMU5 application matching the configuration application
version is then sent to the RMU5. The RMU5 will re-boot after successfully updating the application.

5.2.3 General Status

The general status group allows various information about the RMU5 to be polled in real time. Several functions are
available.
First, the RMU5 built in I/O points may be displayed by clicking the "Read Inputs" button. The following dialog is
shown with the values:

Next, the "Read Faults" button may be clicked to retrieve any fault information from the RMU5 application. Normally,
the dialog will display "No faults". If there are any problems, a descriptive dialog display is shown identifying the
problem.
The "Read GPS" button is used to retrieve the current GPS information if the RMU5 is equipped with the optional GPS
Timing Control Module board. Position, time, and lock status, and satellite status are shown.
Finally, the version of the RMU5 application can be retrieved by pressing the "Read Version" button.
