Should the system software loading procedure fail (for instance when inserting the wrong

floppy disk), the programming terminal display shows the Bootmon environment. Activate the

characters menu pressing the CHAR key on the PTU4 keyboard and then type the com

mand RESET/INIT. Confirm the command pressing ENTER. The procedure automatically

starts again from the beginning.

After loading the system software, first of all, the current value of the software hour meter,

saved in the flash memory, must be restored, giving one of the following commands: CON

FIGURE ARM RETENTIVE MOMORY LOAD (with options, if required) or CONFIGURE

LOAD. These commands must in any case be executed even to restore the calibration con

stants. Be careful not to enter the BOOTMON environment before giving the above-men

tioned commands not to loose the software hour meter value.
