Terminal Powerup Sequence
When the terminal is powered up or reset, it will go through two noticeable operations:
a) Linking to Drive - during this phase the terminal is establishing communications with the drive
communications board. The screen will also show information about the software product
contained in the PanelView 550 terminal, such as:
- software part number and revision level,
- date and time stamp of program creation.
b) Obtaining Drive Database - during this phase, the database of information about the drive is
obtained from the drive. Obtaining the database at this point in time is optional and may be
aborted by pressing any key on the terminal. Obtaining the entire database does however
speed up subsequent operations since relevant portions of the database do not have to be
obtained. (Without obtaining the entire database, the terminal will access portions of the drive
database as required. This slows down the first access to the operation which requires the
data. Subsequent operations requiring the same data are not affected). Aborting the
download will not affect portions of the database already obtained.
Once the database has been obtained or aborted, the Top Level Menu is displayed.
