Remote Operation
:INITialize
:INITialize
Syntax
MEMory:INITialize
Description
When this command is issued, RAM is initialized according to the following
algorithm:
1. RAM is initialized to the state described in
MEMory:DELete. This
command essentially erases any changes that have been made to RAM
since the last power cycle.
2. The model number is initialized to 87130A. The serial number is
initialized to USXXXXXXXX.
When equipment is manufactured by Agilent Technologies, it is given a
unique serial number. A serial number label is attached to the rear panel
of the module. The first six entries are the same for all identical
modules; they only change when a change in the electrical or physical
functionality is made. The remaining digits are assigned sequentially
and are different for each instrument.
3. If the EEROM is not defective, its data is downloaded into RAM, which
cancels the effect of steps 1 and 2. If the EEROM is faulty, no download
is performed.
This initialization algorithm is the same algorithm used at power up to
initialize RAM, except that at power up, before step three is performed, the
last state in RAM is set to all relays OPEN. Hence, in the case of a failed
EEROM, last state defaults to all relays OPEN.
