Summary Synchron system configuration can be changed by either loading software or via QNX. The QNX procedure is described below.
Procedure The function set_dinstr provides the same function as set_instr for QNX version 2.0. This function allows the field engineer to change system type (CX7, CX5, CX4), language, and chemistry configuration without loading software. Unlike the CX function, all files required by this function are located on the hard drive.
LIMITATIONS This procedure should only be used during installation.
Reason: This procedure sets the database to the original default database (Software Set: v6.0.10.77 or Synchron Console: v6.0.00.03). However, if a chemistry update has been performed, the software is not notified the original database is in use. The operator will have incorrect chemistry database information displayed on the System Parameters screen. This limitation currently exists with the set_instr function used on the Synchron CX product line.
Step Action
1 Break the boot sequence to access QNX.
2 Change to the /cx7/bin directory by typing:
cd /cx7/bin <Enter>
3 Start the configuration change by typing:
set_dinstr <Enter>
4 The following information appears on the screen:
Continuing with the program will clear metering information
Do you still wish to continue? (y/n)
If y was selected and metering was not initialized, the following messages will appear on the screen:
/cx7/bin/meter*.dat: No such file or directory Message appears if metering wasn't initialized.
Please wait. Getting original instrument settings.
Starting setup task.........
Metering has been disabled

Please enter number (1 - 5)
5 Click the links below to see what will appear when each of the 3 set_dinstr options are selected:
1) SET INSTRUMENT TYPE ==>
2) CONVERT THE CX5 ALIGNMENT DATA TO CX5 PRO ALIGNMENT (ONLY USED WHEN UPGRADING CX5PTS TO CX5 PRO)==>
3) CHANGE LANGUAGE ==>
4) EDIT THE INSTRUMENT SERIAL NUMBER ==>
6 When configuration has been changed, exit set_dinstr by entering 5 Exit.
If the serial number was changed, the following message will appear on the screen.
Re-starting setup task ...
Updating the serial number
Please wait.....
The following message always appears when exiting this function:
If operation has completed successfully then please reboot the instrument.
If the operation failed, please see the manual for further instructions.
7 To prevent a Fatal Note regarding the metering data from occurring during boot, type the following command:
rm setup_data3 <Enter>
8 If the original CE/Delta console had Software Set 6.2 or higher installed, return to the console setup procedure to copy alignment data from the backup diskette to the hard drive via QNX.
If the original CE/Delta console had Software Set 5.X installed, type exit and press the <Enter> key at the QNX prompt and the boot process will pick up at the blue copyright screen.
