8.3 NEW CONFIGURATION UPLOAD
If hardware changes have been made such as removing the zenith drive gear or adjusting the
micrometer drive sensor mask, then correct values for zero offset and other parameters must be
uploaded to the instrument for it to operate correctly. The procedure to upload the new
configuration file is listed below:
The configuration file that describes the characteristics of the instrument is named BREWnnn.cfg.
The nnn will be the instrument number. This file is an ASCII text file that describes all the technical
parameters of this particular instrument. This very same file should be uploaded to any
replacement BREWER Main Electronics board following the physical installation of the board. A
spare BREWER Main Electronics board will normally be sent with the latest configuration file stored
at KIPP & ZONEN. If the customer has changed any parameters in the field, it will not be
