4.1.1 Factory, Saved, and Current
Settings
- current settings—Collection of setup values with which the RVP900
is presently operating
- saved settings—Collection of values stored in non-volatile RAM. The
saved settings are restored (made current) each time the RVP900
starts
- S command—Saves the current settings into the non-volatile RAM
- R command—Restores those non-volatile values so that they become
the current settings
- F command—Initializes the current settings with factory default
values of RVP900. The factory default values do not correspond to
any user installation, and they are not meant to be applied, in normal
situations. F followed by S saves factory defaults in non-volatile
RAM, so the user's site specific power up settings are overwritten,
irreversibly, and the RVP900 powers up in its manufacturing mode.
This step is not recommended.
RVP900 retains all of its saved settings when new software releases are
installed. The new version of the code automatically uses all of the
previous saved values; however, if RVP900 detects a new setup parameter,
it is set to a factory default value. A warning is printed whenever this
occurs (see Section 4.1.2 V and Vz – View Card and System Status on page
100).
There is also support for intermediate minor releases of RVP900 code.
Each software release has a major version number (for example, 8.13), plus
a minor version number for intermediate "official" releases (for example,
8.13.2). The minor number starts at zero at the time of each "official"
release, and then increments until the next "official" release. RVP900
includes the minor release number (if it is not zero) in the printout of the V
command. Similarly, the minor release number of the code that was last
saved in the non-volatile RAM is also shown. This is an improvement over
having to check the date of the code to determine which minor release was
running.
