AN-X3 Modes of Operation
There are two AN-X3 modes of operation:
•
Maintenance mode. The AN-X3 runs the maintenance firmware at startup. It performs
diagnostics (memory tests, etc), and copies any changes from the microSD card. If there are
no errors, it starts the AN-X3 in production mode.
•
Production mode. This is the normal runtime mode of operation.
