Error Detection
The errors section indicates critical errors that are present or have occurred since the last time the errors were cleared. Errors must be manually cleared through this interface. This section remains active during the power cycling of the units. The cause of each error should be investigated.
The settings on the device can be adjusted according to system requirements. The settings are grouped, allowing for easier access and navigation.
Detailed information will be displayed on the left-hand side of the interface when selecting a particular setting. This additional information includes a description of the setting and its associated minimum and maximum values.
Provided firmware files can be uploaded via USB for seamless and automatic installation. To initiate the installation process, upload the firmware file, and the unit will reboot automatically to complete the installation.
After the installation is finished, verify that the firmware listed on the Configuration page matches the intended firmware. This step ensures that the correct firmware version has been successfully installed.
In the event of a failed firmware installation, the unit will automatically revert to the previous version, safeguarding against potential issues and ensuring system stability.
The configuration tool allows viewing, downloading, and deleting onboard data logs from microDRIVE units. When the logs reach their maximum capacity, the units automatically overwrite the oldest data to make space for new entries. The logs are retrieved chronologically during the download process, with the oldest data being obtained and written to files first.
When downloading and saving the log as a CSV file, the file includes the settings that were operational on the unit at the time of download.
