Turning On or Off the Unit

Turning On or Off the Unit

There are several ways to turn off the unit, including the following:

Standby: keeps the unit’s status information in memory (RAM). The
next time you turn your unit on, you will quickly return to your work
environment (running applications will still be running).This mode will
take more battery power while the unit is off.

Shutdown: completely cuts power to the test modules and platform;
the unit will perform a complete restart routine the next time you use
it. You should perform a shutdown if you do not intend to use your unit
for a week or more.

After a shutdown, the unit will start in the MAX-700 software or in the
application you defined as the startup application.

Note: As it is the case for many computers, pressing and holding down the power

button for more than 10 seconds will perform a power down reset on the
unit.

By default, your unit will display the standard shutdown window from
which you can select the desired shutdown mode. However, you can
configure your unit to perform a different action when the power button is
pressed.

You can also configure your unit to automatically restart when AC power
comes back after the unit has turned off (emergency shutdown or standby
modes) when battery level is too low.
