MC5P Firmware
MC5P’s 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 26
for more information on updating the firmware in your MC5P.

Startup Procedure
Every time MC5P 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 MC5P automatically proceeds to Basic Mode. A more
comprehensive description of the Startup Procedure is in the be-
ginning of Part B of this manual.
