Software Revision

Each of the controller boards contains its own software (actually firmware) and
therefore each controller has its own software revision number or letter. It is
possible to get the revision designation from the Diagnostics Display Menu labeled,
“SOFTWARE REV.” To check the software revisions press [MORE, SOFTWARE
REV]. This will bring up the screen shown in Figure 6-1. Before calling Harris
Technical Support personnel it is a good idea to get the software revisions for each
of the controller boards.

System Reset - TX_RESTART

Pressing the ON (LOW or HIGH) button on the transmitter will issue the
TX_RESTART command and attempt to return the transmitter to normal operation
after any fault has occurred. Note that this will not reset, or erase any of the faults
stored in the Fault Log in the Diagnostics Menu. Take the example of a failed and
switched out PA. The controller writes to memory the fact that the PA has failed and
will not try to turn it on again. To get the control system to try the PA again simply
press the ON (LOW or HIGH) button. The data concerning the failed PA will be
reset and the controller will try to operate normally, turning the previously defective
PA on with all of the rest of the PAs. Naturally, if it still has a problem it will be
switched out again. However, if the PA is fixed and re-installed, the controller will
automatically activate the PA.
