BBG-1040-ACO PRODUCT MANUAL
BBG1040ACO-OM (V1.4)
Provides a global operating status and allows a log
download for factory engineering support.
Also provides controls for selecting and loading
firmware upgrade files, and for setting the comm IP
address.
• Log Status and Download Controls
Admin (Log Status/Firmware Update)
• Log Status indicates overall internal operating status.
• Download Log File allows a operational log file to be saved to a
host computer. This log file can be useful in case of an error or in the
case of an operational error or condition. The file can be submitted
to Cobalt engineering for further analysis.
• Delete Log File deletes the currently displayed log file. A second
confirmation dialog is displayed to back out of the delete if desired.
• Thermal Shutdown enable/disable allows the built-in thermal
failover to be defeated. (Thermal shutdown is enabled by default).
CAUTION
The BBG-BBG-1040-ACO FPGA is designed for a normal-range
operating temperature around 85° C core temperature. Operation in
severe conditions exceeding this limit for non-sustained usage are
within device operating safe parameters, and can be allowed by
setting this control to Disable. However, the disable (override)
setting should be avoided under normal conditions to ensure
maximum device protection.
• Parameter Blast
When enabled, Parameter Blast can reduce the time it takes for the card
to appear and populate in DashBoard (this is especially relevant where
high-latency connections are present). This is facilitated by reducing
some handshakes on initial DashBoard setup where control settings are
static (not being manipulated) while the card is first appearing.
Note: The frame network card is the arbiter of all frame/card
communications and in some cases may not accept full extent of
parameter blast under some conditions.
• Card Check and Restore Utilities
Memory Test allows all cells of the card FPGA memory to be tested.
This control should only be activated under direction of
product support. Exercising the memory test is not part of
normal card maintenance.
Restore from SD Card allows card rendered inoperable to be restored
using an SD memory card fitted to the card internal SD slot.
Product support must be contacted prior to performing this
operation. Use of any SD card not supplied by support can
corrupt the card.
• NTP Clock Setup
Allows device NTP clock IP source and localization. This is the clock/time
device will use for logs and other recorded actions.
• NTP IP sets the IP address where NTP is to be obtained.
• Local Timezone sets the recorded time to the localized time.
• NTP Status shows if time is synced with NTP or if an error exists.
