INITIALIZING SEQUENCE

After power is applied to the DANIEL INDUSTRIES MODEL 2500
INSTRUMENT SYSTEM, it automatically performs an initializing sequence,
whether the startup is considered to be a "cold" or "warm".
In a "cold" startup, power is switched on to the MODEL 2500, and the initializing
sequence:
- Determines if the instrument is configured for a specific application
- Performs a series of self-diagnostic tests
The self-diagnostic tests ensure that all internal circuitry and devices in the
instrument are operational.
In a "warm" startup, which occurs after the power supply has been briefly
interrupted or a "watchdog" message has indicated a problem in the program, the
initializing sequence, again:
- Determines if the instrument is configured for a specific application
- Performs a series of self-diagnostic tests
During a "warm" startup, the front panel displays a copyright message and
copyright date for several seconds before performing the initializing sequence.
However, during a "cold" startup, the copyright message does not appear.
