Troubleshooting - Loading Module EEPROMs
• Error: Data of modules cannot be read.
Normal action Error and error cause
On booting the instrument all calibration data
required must be written into the RAM of the
computer. The calibration data of a module is read
from the EEPROM in the case of a cold start,
otherwise from the associated binary file.
In the case of a cold start, it is checked for each
module identified by the software whether the
EEPROM can be read.
If reading at the desired address is not possible,
the software assumes that the module is not
available.
For modules that must always be available (e.g.
IF filter) an error message will be output:
Error reading EEPROM of IF Filter
The calibration data are then read from the file
pertaining to the module (e.g. iffilt.bin).
If error-free reading of the binary file is not
possible either, an error message is output again.
Error reading file of IF Filter
If reading at the address of an optional module is
not possible, this module is marked as not
available in the module array for storage of the
module information.
If the file pertaining to the non-available module
does exist, it is assumed that upon the last
successful booting the module was available but
has been removed meanwhile. The file with the
calibration data of the module is erased.
Moreover the data collected during the last
calibration are invalid and only saved as a
backup copy on the hard disk
If reading at the address of a module is possible
but the contents of the data block faulty (e.g.
check sum of header block incorrect), the
calibration data of the respective module are
read from the associated file. The firmware
assumes that the module is available.
