PROGRAMMING THE MODEL 16
The Model 16 uses a menu driven interface to simplify the task of
Programming the operating conditions (System Programming) and User database
(User Programming) into the nonvolatile memory of the unit.
Programming is most easily accomplished via the Computer Port by connecting
to it a CRT terminal or a personal computer that allows a "terminal
simulation" communication mode. Make the connections to the Model 16
according to the directions in "Section 6 - Installation".
INITIAL PROGRAM VALUES
Whenever power is applied to the Model 16, it first verifies that the data
in its Programming memory is intact. The first time that the unit is
powered, however, it finds that it has never been Programmed so it
initializes itself and sets a number of variables to values that will allow
it to operate under typical conditions. Since equipment and operating
conditions vary from installation to installation, Programming will permit
the system operator to change any of these values, as necessary, to
customize the Model 16 to the particular site.
STORAGE
All the data entered during Programming is stored in non-volatile memory
and is completely protected should the Terminal lose power. The memory
consists of one standard 32k x 8 static RAM plugged into a socket
containing an internal lithium battery designed to last in excess of 10
years. The RAM/piggyback socket combination may be removed from the
Terminal without danger of data loss; however, NEVER remove the RAM from
the piggyback socket as all Programming data will be lost.
