11.4 USB DRIVE INFORMATION STORE
The ADDvantage-32 PLUS drive allows the user to save a text file to the USB memory
stick that documents basic drive information such software part numbers and versions for
all firmware installed on the drive; the checksums for the various calibration and
configuration data; current fault information; LAN diagnostic information (if the drive is
equipped with an Ethernet expansion module), and limited operating data.
To perform a USB flash load of drive firmware from the USB memory stick, navigate the
USB submenu to reach the USB FLASH LOAD option as shown below:
Press the RIGHT key to save the drive information to the USB memory stick.
Upon completion of the store operation, a file named DRIVE_INFO.TXT will have been
written to the ADD-32 PLUS/DRIVE### directory.
NOTES
Each drive information store operation will overwrite the text file on the USB memory stick, so
only the results of the most recent drive information store operation will be contained on the
USB memory stick.
The time stamp of the DRIVE_INFO.TXT file will always be 1/1/2001 12:00 PM.
The DRIVE_INFO.TXT file is an ASCII text data file that may be read with WINDOWS
NOTEPAD or a similar program. Figure 11-6 shows an example of a
DRIVE_INFO.TXT file.
