Critical Notes

  • Always cleanly reset the MCE after a power-up or a reconfiguration! If not, MCE communication with the PC or Sync Box may not work.
> mce_reset_clean
  • After an mce_reset, not all of the DAC outputs are set to zero. In addition, values written to RAM-based registers are not reset. A full reconfiguration is required for a proper reset.
> rs psc cycle_pow 1
> mce_reset_clean
