Patch AMP
Chapter 41
41-2
When AMP is modified using this utility, no cross-reference checking is
performed. This means that almost any value can be assigned to any
available parameter regardless of the consequences.
Patch AMP contains a limited number of the total available AMP
parameters and is not intended as a substitute for ODS. Its intended
purpose is to allow minor changes to be made to an already-existing AMP
that has previously been downloaded to the control from the ODS
workstation or some other peripheral device.
Assuming that the control is powered up and the highest access password
has been entered, use the following procedure to get to the {PATCH AMP}
softkey:
1. Press the
{SYSTEM SUPORT}
softkey.

Important: If the
{PATCH AMP}
softkey is not visible on this softkey level,
the currently active access level does not permit the use of this utility.
Return to softkey level 1, press the {PASSWORD} softkey, and enter the
highest level password (access level 0). This password is assigned using
the AMP parameters discussed in chapter 22 for the 1st - 6th character of
the password.
4. The patch AMP password is the word LOCK. Type in LOCK using
the operator panel keyboard and press the [TRANSMIT] key. The
control will display the patch AMP utility screen.
