p 2.2 Software setup
The operating parameters must be configured prior to using the DRO
for the first time, and any time part measurement, reporting or
communication requirements change. Day to day use of the product
does not require reconfiguration of software settings.
Software can be configured manually using the Setup menu screens,
or automatically by loading a settings file saved after a previous setup
session. Settings files are loaded from a computer over a USB-to-
Serial connection.
Parameters configured in setup screens will be retained until:
 The data-backup battery is changed
 The data and settings are cleared by maintenance personnel
 Parameters are changed using the Setup menu screens
 Certain software upgrades are performed
 Previously saved settings files are loaded
Notice
Parameter changes made in any of the setup screens can
change the operation of the DRO. For this reason, setup
parameters are password-protected. Only qualified
personnel should be given password access to setup
screens. The unlocking of password-protected setup
functions is described on page 72.
