6.2.1
Persisting Settings to the Hardware
Many of the parameters that can be set for the Strain Gauge Reader K-Cube can be
stored (persisted) within the unit itself, such that when the unit is next powered up
these settings are applied automatically. This is particularly important when the driver
is being used manually in the absence of a PC and USB link. The
Analogue Input
Channel
and
Display Mode
parameters are good examples of settings that can be
altered and then persisted in the driver for use in absence of a PC.
To save the settings to hardware, check the ‘Persist Settings to Hardware’ checkbox
before clicking the ‘OK button..
Caution
The ‘Persist Settings’ functionality is provided to simplify use of the unit
in the absence of a PC. When the unit is connected to a PC and is
operated via the Kinesis software, the default settings will be loaded at
boot up, even if the ‘Persist Settings’ option has been checked.
