About Rebooting Aero ST Controllers with CMT

When the system and a station is loaded

When a station is loaded, you cannot reboot any controller (Master or Dependent) from CMT.

When only the system is loaded

When the system is loaded (after the System Loader application has been run), you cannot reboot
individual Dependent Controllers with CMT. In this case, you can only reboot the Master Controller,
which will reboot all Dependent Controllers.

When the system is not loaded

When the system is not loaded, you may independently reboot the Master or any Dependent
Controller with CMT.

Note:

Rebooting from CMT (using the Reboot Controller button) may not work if communication
problems exist in the controller network. If you cannot reboot a controller from CMT, use
the reboot button on the affected controller’s processor card, or remove and reapply power
to affected controller.

User File Access for Registered Controllers

When you register a controller, the application copies user files from the controller and places
them in a controller-specific directory on the servicing PC’s disk. (FlexTest SE Controllers only)

Once a controller is registered (FlexTest SE or Aero ST), applications on the PC access user files
from the following:

Hardware configuration files (.hwi) are accessed from the root of the directory created for the
controller.

Station configuration files (.cfg) are accessed from the Config directory at the root of the directory
created for the controller.
