In addition, backing up subsequent products (after the first product has been backed
up), only uses 324 additional bytes, because all of the detector’s global parameters
(such as model type, language setting, preferred units of measure, and so forth) have
already been backed up.
Overview of Backing Up/Restoring Your APEX Settings
The instructions given below are meant solely to provide you with an overview about
how to set up an automated process for backing up and restoring your critical APEX
settings. As a result, specific data-storage details are not included. In addition, please
note that the product parameters are only assessable for the currently selected APEX
product. This means that, in order to do a complete product back-up, you must back up
the settings for each product separately (using the appropriate product number).
Backing Up Your APEX Settings
1)
Read all machine settings and store them to a data file. All machine settings are
labeled with an M in the “Data Type” column in the detailed list of Modbus registers
(see pages 357–365).
2)
Write product number 001 to register 41045, and set parameter-change coil 16385
to one (1).
3)
Read all product settings and store to a data file. These product settings—please
note—relate only to product 001. All product settings are labeled with a P in the
“Data Type” column in the table of registers.
4)
Write product number 002 to register 41045, and set parameter-change coil 16385
to one (1).
5)
Read all product settings and store to a data file. These product settings—please
note—relate only to product 002.
6)
Continue until all your products are backed up.
