Q.seriesGantner Instruments GmbH 234 Connecting the modules → Connecting the basement the (new) module then reads the configuration from thesocket EPROM and adjusts appropriately.TipWith hot swap activated you should also set the address via thebase (Section 4.1.2).Push the DIP switch 8 upwards (ON, refer also to Fig. 4-1 onpage 22) to deactivate hot swap. Any content present in theEPROM is not read in this case and the module configuration isused. After plug-in – once the module excitation is present – themodule configuration is automatically transferred into the socketand saved, so that the same configuration is present in the socketas in the module.Transferring the configuration to the baseWhen the configuration is changed via the test.commander pro-gram, the new configuration is automatically transferred to thebase. In this way it is ensured that the same configuration isalways present both in the base and in the module.Replacing bases1. You deactivate hot swap in the new socket as follows: PushDIP switch 8 upwards (ON).2. Mount the new socket (Section 4.1.4, page 25) and switch thesupply voltage on again.3. Plug in the (old) module.The module configuration is automatically transferred to thenew socket (flashing LEDs).4. Wait until the loading process has finished, i.e. until the LEDsno longer flash.5. Withdraw the module again (Fig. 4-7, page 30).6. Push DIP switch 8 downwards again to (OFF).Next time the module is plugged in, the data will then be readfrom the socket again.4.1.2 Setting the address (optional)The address is set in binary form with the first six switches. Theaddress 0 corresponds to no configuration, i.e. an inserted mod-ule retains the address assigned via software. With new modulesfresh from the factory you always have to assign an address,either via the DIP switch or via software, because otherwise sev-eral modules use the same address (default: 1) and are thereforenot capable of measurement within a data bus; refer to
