3.2.5 Restoring A Backup Image
To The DI Driver System Controller
If the
USER1
and
USER FPGA
LEDs are not blinking at all, please try pressing and immediately releasing the
controller
reset
button. Wait 1 minute for the LEDs to start blinking. If they do not start blinking, follow the instructions
below for restoring a backup image zip file to the system controller. If a system backup image is not available, please
contact the National Instruments support team.
A DI Driver System software backup image can be created by following the instructions in
section. It is recommended this procedure be performed after the system has been
calibrated and ready for deployment.
WARNING:
Restoring a software image to the system controller will overwrite the entire system hard drive. If a
critical calibration file is stored on the controller, it should be retrieved before restoring the backup image. Step 1
below provides the optional instructions for retrieving the calibration file.
NOTE:
The system controller network interface settings are not changed by restoring the software image.
The DI
Driver System must be in static IP address mode for the backup to restore correctly. For more information
on changing your system to static IP mode see
Changing The Network Settings Of The DI Driver System
1. Using an FTP client, connect to the DI Driver System controller and browse to “C:\ni-rt\LabVIEW Data\”. Copy
any .cdl calibration files from the cRIO controller to the PC for backup. The default calibration file is named
DefaultCal.cdl. This is important because the image restoration process will overwrite all files on the controller. This
step is only necessary if calibration files have previously been saved and contain important system settings.
2. Open the SCM console and select
Backup Target
from the File menu to open the
Real-Time System Backup
dialog. Press the
Restore Real-Time System
button to open the
Restore Target
dialog.
3. Press the
Browse
button to open the
Select RT System
dialog to allow SCM to find the system on the network.
