Properties (Auto Reconnect Function)

Sometimes, the system may crash because the EDG device is interrupted or powered-off by accident. In such a situation, the host PC need to reconnect to the EDG device automatically.

EDG devices provide an "Auto-reconnect" function for this purpose. If the EDG device loses the connection to its host, the driver will automati- cally try to re-establish the connection. When the connection is working again, the host PC's commands will be automatically received by the EDG Series again. Reconfiguration is not necessary, so this function enhances the reliability of the system.
