:BOOT:COLD DIAGnostic:BOOT:COLD causes the System Instrument to restart (re-boot).
Configurations stored in non-volatile memory and RS-232 configurations are
reset to their default states:
• DRAM, NRAM, and RDISk memory segments are cleared
• Serial Interface parameters set to:
– BAUD 9600
– BITS 8
– PARity NONE
– SBITs 1
– DTR ON
– RTS ON
– PACE XON
• Serial 0 Owner = system
NOTE Resetting the serial interface parameters takes about 0.01 seconds for the
built-in serial port and 0.75 seconds per serial plug-in card. While this is taking
place the System Instrument will still respond to serial polls. If you are using a
serial poll to determine when the cold boot cycle is complete, you should insert a
delay of 1 second per plug-in serial card (E1324) before polling the system
instrument. This will prevent incorrectly determining that the system instrument
has completed its boot cycle.
Comments • The System Instrument goes through its power-up self tests.
