Save instrument
data to a file
This step is necessary only when replacing the power supply. The
reason is that all instrument data is stored there. When replacing the
power supply, the data from the old unit has to be read out, stored to a
file and imported into the spare part. To do this, the user needs to
connect the instrument (still containing the old power supply) to the USB,
run the application, read out data from the instrument and store it to a file
(see “Control buttons” below). If the power supply is so badly damaged
that this cannot be done, it is important to read the instrument and
backplane serial numbers from the instrument and write them down
before starting the application.
Perform
modifications
After all necessary spare parts have been replaced, connect the
instrument to the USB, run the application and use the Series 300 wizard
to store all modifications on the instrument (see section “Series 300
wizard” below).
Incorrect or missing
part numbers and
serial numbers
handling
If the part number or serial number of the measurement module or PC
module is incorrect or missing, connect the instrument to the USB, run
the application and click “Read from Instrument” button. During this
action the application detects the errors and displays the “Part number
error” or “Serial number error” messages described in section “Possible
Error Messages”. In this messages you will get the information about
how is the application going to restore the values, or you will be asked to
enter the values manually. After confirming these messages, the new
part numbers and serial numbers will be written into the instrument
before the application reaches the “PROGRAM IDLE” status (see section
“User Interface Description”).
Caution
It is mandatory to restart the instrument to make these changes visible on
MMI.
Caution
The control PC module software has to be installed before running this
software, as described in section 1.4.1.
