Timers

The software lets you program:
• Ramp time - the amount of time the MDXII unit takes to reach a programmed output
setpoint
• Run time - the amount of time the MDXII unit is specified to run. When this time is
reached, output shuts off.
Refer to "Timers and Counters" on page 5-2 for more information on setting ramp and run
times.

UNIT SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION

Your MDXII unit may contain additional optional software features that were selected at the
time your unit was ordered. The following sections explain how to identify which software
version your unit contains and which options were activated in that software version.

Identifying Software Versions

To identify the version of software in your MDXII unit, note the "700..." number that appears
on the active front panel or active remote panel. Released versions have a single revision letter
after the number and two zeros following the period: for example, 7004000B.00.
Unreleased test versions that have new additions for customer approval have internal revision
numbers after the period: for example, 7004000B.03, which indicates test version 3 of release
"B." In the next release, the number becomes 7004000C.00.

Identifying Optional Software Features

To identify which software options are available in your MDXII unit's software version, you
must use the control panel to access a hex number. "Understanding the Optional Software
Features" on page 2-19 describes each of the software options.
To access and interpret the hex number, do the following:
1. From the control panel menu, press the MORE soft key. (Using the control menu is
explained fully beginning on page 6-2 in Chapter 6.)
2. Press the SERVICE soft key.
3. Press the DEBUG soft key.
4. Press the MFSTAT soft key.
5. Note the hex number that displays to the right of "opts =."
6. From each digit in the hex number, create four binary numbers starting with the first hex
digit and working left to right (see Table 2-1 on page 2-10 for hex conversions). For
example:
0x81A1 = 1000 0001 1010 0001
