Save to Flash and Exit Command
Alignment parameter changes are not accepted until you exit Alignment Mode. They are lost if you do not
store the parameters in flash memory when you exit the mode. If the ANR2 experiences a hardware reset or
power loss while in Alignment Mode, the parameter changes are also lost. If you wish to store the alignment
data you just wrote to the ANR2, then you must exit Alignment Mode with this command.
The ANR2 will not allow you to use this command until all of the mode’s alignment points
have been set correctly.
Figure 7.5 Save and Exit Command: Network Output Data
The ANR2 will set the
Acknowledge Bit
and exit Alignment Mode. The unit will enter the highest level mode
that it can. This will be Measurement Mode for the channel you just aligned.
At this point, you must reset the
Transmit Bit
(Output Word 0, bit 15), before the ANR2 will accept another
command. The easiest way to do this is to write a value of zero into the Command Word. The ANR2 will
respond by resetting the
Acknowledge Bit
.
Exit Mode Command
Changes to alignment parameters are lost if you do not store the parameters in flash memory when you exit
Alignment Mode. If you are in Alignment Mode and the ANR2 experiences a hardware reset or power loss,
the parameters are also lost. If you want to save the parameters to flash and use them, then you must exit
Alignment Mode with the
Save to Flash and Exit Command as described on page 57.
If you entered Alignment Mode accidently or you just want to abandon your edits, exit Align-
ment Mode with the following command.
Figure 7.6 Save and Exit Command: Network Output Data
The ANR2 will set the Acknowledge Bit and exit Alignment Mode. The unit will enter the highest level mode
that it can. This will be Alignment Mode if you used this command to abort changes and neither of the chan-
nels are presently aligned, or Measurement Mode if one of the channels is aligned.
At this point, you must reset the Transmit Bit (Output Word 0, bit 15), before the ANR2 will accept another
command. The easiest way to do this is to write a value of zero into the Command Word. The ANR2 will
respond by resetting the
Acknowledge Bit .
