How to reset 7344 board to factory defaults?

[Rvdbijl]

Hello,

I would like to be able to return the 7344 Motion Controller to "factory defaults" before configuring it in my C++ application. The reason for this is that I don't want to rely on whatever configuration may be present in MAX since people here use MAX for testing different configurations that may conflict with my application.

So.. How do I issue a reset to factory defaults using the flex_ functions available through the C/C++ library?

Thanks,
Robbert

On the 7344 there are no "factory defaults" stored in a ROM on the board. So if there is a chance that someone could change your settings in MAX you should set all necessary parameters in your program.
Here you can find a complete initialization routine written in C. It's written for NI-Motion 4.5 so you may have to do some minor modifications to adapt it to the API of NI-Motion 6.1.3 (current version).

You can still use MAX to test your settings and use the parameters you have found to be suitable in your C/C++ program.
