Main Setup Menu

The Main setup menu reports the following configuration information:
• BIOS Version and Build Date—These values indicate the version of the controller BIOS
and the date on which the BIOS was built.
• Embedded Firmware Version—This value identifies the built-in hardware capabilities.
• Processor Type, Base Processor Frequency, and Active Processor Cores—These values
indicate the type of processor used in the controller, the speed of the processor, and the
number of active processor cores.
• Total Memory—This value indicates the size of system RAM detected by the BIOS.
The Main setup menu includes System Date and System Time settings, which are the most
commonly accessed and modified BIOS settings. These settings are stored in a battery-backed
real-time clock. In the BIOS menu, use <+> and <-> in conjunction with <Enter> and <Tab>
to change these values. You can also change these settings using NI-MAX or Vision Builder
AI.
• System Date—This value controls the date.
