INI file in the main directory of the CF card
1. Use a text editor (such as Notepad) to create a file called
simotion.ini
2. Add the following text: DIAG_FILES=1
You must use a text editor and may not use any formatting in the text.
3. Copy the simotion.ini file to the main directory of the CF card.
4. Insert the CF card into the module, which is switched off.
5. Switch the D4x5‑2 on and allow the SIMOTION device to power up.
The diagnostic data and the non-volatile SIMOTION data will be backed up to the data
carrier during power-up, provided that this is still possible and is not prevented by HW
defects, for example.
6. Once the backup is complete, switch off the SIMOTION device.
7. Remove the CF card.
Note
To suppress startup in diagnostics mode again, you must delete the
simotion.ini file from
the CF card.
