If theSnapShot feature is disabled, the FieldPoint bank will power up withfactory-default settings.At some time you might want to change the stored SnapShotinformation. To make incremental changes in the stored SnapShotinformation, you can use the features described in the next section,Programmable Power-Up State.Note: The current watchdog timeout value for the FieldPoint bank is not savedwhen you store the SnapShot.Note: The SnapShot feature inherently requires that the entire FieldPoint bankbe at your desired power-up state, since when you store the SnapShotinformation, the current settings of the entire bank are stored for use atfuture power-ups.Programmable Power-Up StateThe SnapShot feature described in the SnapShot section provides youwith a single-step method to store the current state of the FieldPointbank for use as the power-up state. The FieldPoint network moduleprovides an alternative method to define power-up states that allowsyou to store the SnapShot information with more flexibility, asdescribed in this section.The Programmable Power-Up State feature enables you to define thepower-up configuration on a module-by-module basis. In addition, youdo not need to actually set any of the channels to the desired power-upstate. You can therefore define the power-up states regardless of thecurrent settings of any channel of a module.Optionally, you can utilize the Programmable Power-Up State featureto incrementally modify previously stored SnapShot information.If you subsequently enable the SnapShot feature, you can ensure thatyour system will power up with the configuration and output levels thatyou specified when storing the Programmable Power-Up States.You can utilize the Programmable Power-Up State feature toindividually store the following information.
