Setting the 6-bit Configuration Switch
Special Settings
Boot-Resident/Main
Firmware update procedures may require this mode in case of firmware loading 
errors (main/resident firmware part).
If you use the following switch settings and power the instrument up again, the 
instrument firmware stays in the resident/main mode. In resident mode, it is not 
operable as a module. It only uses basic functions of the operating system for 
example, for communication. In this mode the main firmware can be loaded 
(using update utilities).
Forced Cold Start
A forced cold start can be used to bring the module into a defined mode with 
default parameter settings.
• Boot Main System / Revert to Default Data
The instrument will boot to main mode and changes to the module’s default 
parameter. May be also required to load resident firmware into the module.
• Boot Resident System / Revert to Default Data
The instrument will boot to resident mode and changes to the module’s 
default parameter. May be also required to load main firmware into the 
module.
If you use the following switch settings and power the instrument up again, it will 
start as described above.
Loss of data
Forced cold start erases all methods and data stored in the non-volatile 
memory. Exceptions are calibration settings, diagnosis and repair log books 
which will not be erased.
 Save your methods and data before executing a forced cold start.
