Hardware Re-initialization
MACRO hardware re-initialization to factory defaults is enabled when the SW1 setting is set to 15 or F
(hexadecimal) and the power is cycled at the MACRO Station. The only time to use a hardware re-
initialization to factory defaults with the MACRO Station would be if the MACRO Station always powers
up with a watchdog (typically if the ring clock at the Ultralite is different from the ring clock at the
MACRO Station). Node 11 will be the only MACRO Station node enabled. Therefore, enable node 11
of the MACRO IC at the Ultralite to communicate to the MACRO Station.
Ultralite Example: Servo nodes 0,1,4,5 enabled at Ultralite (I996=$0F8033)
1. Enable node 11, I996=$0F8833.
2. Then reestablish communications with MS11,(MIvar) commands.
3. Issue MS$$$***11 command to ensure re-initialization.
4. Issue MSSAVE11 command to save the factory defaults to the Station.
Turbo Ultralite Example: Servo nodes 0,1,4,5 enabled at Ultralite (I6841=$0F8033)
1. Enable node 11, I996=$0F8833.
2. Then reestablish communications with MS11,(MIvar) commands.
3. Issue MS$$$***11 command to ensure re-initialization.
4. Issue MSSAVE11 command to save the factory defaults to the Station.
