2.4 Configuration Data
The configuration data (values of the adjustable parameters) is
classified into the following three types:
• New configuration (new config),
• Present configuration (current config) and
• Non-volatile configuration (boot config).
Figure 5 shows the connections of the three different types of
configuration data.
The new configuration is created by modification of the pa-
rameters in the configuration mode (see Chapter 2). This has no
effect on the current operation. It is possible to produce a new
configuration by manually changing the parameters or by read-
ing-in a parameter text file. In the parameter text file comments
may be inserted at the start of a line or after an instruction (See
Chapter xxx on page xxx).
The present configuration consists of the parameters used by
the system at that time. This configuration can be saved as a text
file.
The non-volatile configuration consists of the parameters
called on and made the present configuration at a strat or restart
of the device. Modified parameters (new configuration) can ei-
ther be taken over (transfer for present configuration) or rejected
by a query when leaving the configuration mode.
The up-to-date parameters (present configuration) can be per-
manently taken over by a further query when leaving the com-
mand mode (transfer into the non-volatile configuration) or
maintained only up to the next restart.
