COPY CARD
The Copy Card is an accessory connected
to the TTL serial port which allows pro-
gramming quickly the instrument parame-
ters (upload and download parameter's
map). The operation is performed as fol-
lows:
Format
This command allows copy card formatting,
an operation necessary in case of first use
or to copy maps with different models.
Warning: if the copy card has been pro-
grammed, using the "Fr" the data entered
are erased. This operation cannot be can-
celled.
Upload
This operation loads the programming
parameters from the instrument.
Download
This operation downloads to the instru-
ment the programming parameters.
The operations are performed accessing
the folder identified by the "FPr" label and
selecting, according to the case, "UL", "dL"
or "Fr" commands; the operation is con-
firmed by pressing the "set" key. If the
operation is successful an "y" is displayed,
on the contrary, if it fails a "n" will be dis-
played.
NOTE:
• UPLOAD: instrument --> Copy Card
• DOWNLOAD: Copy Card --> instru-
ment.
Download "from reset (instrumennt
OFF"
Connect the copy card with the instru-
ment OFF (not under voltage).
When the instrument is switched on the
programming parameters will be down-
loaded into the instrument; after the
lamp-test the diplay will show for about 5
seconds:
