I-START, start in
Query mode
If "Use Query Mode at System Boot" was selected when creating the running system in Rob-
Install (see section "Change options or system pack revision"), an I-Start can be done. An I-
Start will restart the current system and give the opportunity to set some values at start-up,
e.g. language, IRB type (within the same model) or options (see section "Start in Query
Mode").
C-START (Cold
start), delete the
active system
When executing a C-Start, the system exits the running system and deletes it from the mass
storage memory. The BootImage is then executed and the Start window as shown in the figure
in section "Start Window" is presented.
Use C-start with caution. Since it deletes the current system, it should not be used to just
switch between installed systems. For this purpose, use X-Start (see section "X-start").
It will take quite some time to implement a Cold start. Just wait until the robot shows the Start
window. When the Start window is shown, a new system can be selected if available in the
mass storage memory (see section "Select System) or a new system can be down loaded and
started (see section "Transfer Robot Controller System using Ethernet connection" or "Trans-
fer Robot Controller System using floppy disks").
Do not touch any key, joystick, enable device, or emergency stop during the cold start until the
Start window is shown as in the figure in section "Start Window".
2. Select Restart from the File menu.
3. Enter the numbers: 1_5_9 (the fifth function key changes
to X-START)
4. Press X-START .
The system will reboot and return to the Start window as
shown in the figure in section "Start Window".
