If no problems are found NetScan will begin its power-up initialization. This self-test is performed each
time the unit is powered up regardless of whether power-on was caused by the power switch or the Power-
On Reset (*R) command.
During initialization, NetScan self test performs the following steps:
• Checks for errors at power-up.
• Checks the flag in the NV-RAM to determine if it should power-up with factory default
settings or a user-defined configuration.
• Loads appropriate registers with corresponding values in NV-RAM.
• Checks a flag to see if alarms should be enabled at power-up, and if so, enables them.
• Loads channel configuration registers.
• Loads program sequencer with appropriate channel configurations.
• Resets computations processor to begin acquiri ng sc ans.
The self-test takes approximately 5 seconds to complete; after which, NetScan is ready for normal
operation.
