STEP 6. Back Up the EEPROM Disk
STEP 6. Back Up the EEPROM Disk
Description
Correction constants are stored in EEPROM on the A9 controller assembly. The advantage
of having an EEPROM backup disk is the ability to store all the correction-constant data to
a new or repaired A9 assembly without having to rerun the correction-constant
procedures. The analyzer is shipped from the factory with an EEPROM backup disk which
is unique to each instrument. It is prudent to make a copy of the EEPROM backup disk so
that it can be used in case of failure or damage to the original backup disk.
Equipment

mistakenly pushed, the instrument will be turned off, losing all settings and
data that have not been saved.
