FC1: Operation for Legally Relevant Functionalities 5
5.5 USB Port for PC Connection
The USB port for PC connection located on the front panel (cf. Chapter 5.1)
is a standard type B version. It is intended for establishing a local data con-
nection between a PC or laptop and an enCore device by using the enSuite
PC software.
The USB driver necessary for the USB communication is part of the enSuite
installation. It can be easily installed when connecting an enCore device to a
PC or laptop for the first time.
5.6 Parameterization
The parameterization of enCore devices is carried out by using the enSuite
configuration software. The data communication between the PC and the
device can be established via USB or network TCP.
Please refer to the related volume of the enCore FC manual (“Configuration
of Device Software”) or the enSuite online help for further details.
The modification of legally relevant parameters is secured by two alternative
mechanisms:
• Security switch
Parameters that are marked with the symbol
in enSuite can
only be changed if the security switch is open.
• Fiscal audit trail
Parameters that are marked with the symbol
in enSuite can
be changed even if the security switch is closed – in this situa-
tion the changes are recorded in the fiscal audit trail. The fiscal
audit trail’s depth is 1000 entries. As soon as the fiscal audit
trail is full, no more changes of parameters marked
can be
made when the security switch is closed. You can only erase
the fiscal audit trail, if the security switch is open.
Such parameters (marked
or
) are called secured parameters.
