Description
Update boot settings
Updates the Boot settings page with changes from this page. These changes will take effect after the next reboot of
your Matrox Iris GT.
Reset DMA size
Resets the MIL DMA size to its default value. The default value differs, according to the model (for example, Matrox
Iris GT300 as opposed to Matrox Iris GT1200). Note that, when clicked, a warning message appears and a reboot is
required. Click on the OK button to continue.
Description
Specifies whether the execution log should be enabled or disabled. If enabled, you
can view the execution log, using the Review execution log page of the Matrox Iris
portal website. If disabled, strings are not recorded in the execution log.
Note that if the Enable POST string print to memory field is disabled, and the
Enable POST string print to serial port field is enabled, system messages are sent
directly to the serial port. To enable printing POST strings to the serial por t, use the
Enable POST string print to serial port field on the Boot settings page, accessible
from the Administration utility page.
Specifies that the diagnostic Power-On-Self-Test (POST) diagnostic section of the
bootloader should be executed. POST diagnostics occur during power-up (boot) of
your Matrox Iris GT. Messages from POSTs are a good diagnostic tool. Note that
these messages are written to the serial port (COM port).
Specifies whether the Power LED should be used to show CPU activity by
consistently blinking green. Refer to the Powering and connecting to your Matrox
Iris GT section, in Chapter 2: Powering and connecting to your Matrox Iris GT for
more information.
Specifies whether the User LED displays one of several types of activity by blinking.
• No activity on User LED. Disables the User LED from displaying activity.
• Ethernet and acquisition activity. Enables the User LED to display ethernet and
image acquisition activity. The User LED blinks orange during activity.
• Solid state drive activity. Enables the User LED to display accesses to the
Matrox Iris GT's flash drive. The User LED blinks green when the flash drive is
read, and red when it is being written.
Specifies the speed at which messages to the serial por t (COM port) are
transmitted. The default is 115200 baud.
Specifies the number of data bits used to transmit/receive each POST message
to/from the COM port. The default is 8.
Specifies the number of parity bits used to transmit each POST message to the
COM port. The default is none.
Specifies the number of stop bits used to transmit each POST message to the COM
port. The default is 1.
