MC5-IS Firmware
MC5-IS’ firmware is saved in FLASH memory. Therefore it is rela-
tively easy to update the firmware whenever a new version with
fresh capabilities is released. See Firmware Update on page 29
for more information on updating the firmware in your MC5-IS.
General Description
The following picture shortly describes the functions of the firm-
ware. All main functions are marked with a black border. Each main
function has several tasks which are displayed as shaded boxes
without a black border.
The following chapters briefly describe each main function.
Startup Procedure
Every time MC5-IS is started the Startup Procedure checks the func-
tionality of the device by performing a self test.
If the self-test is passed successfully, some basic calibrator data is
displayed.
After that MC5-IS automatically proceeds to Basic Mode. A more
comprehensive description of the Startup Procedure is in the be-
ginning of Part B of this manual.
