EVR Data Re-writing Procedure When Replacing Board

The data that is stored in the repair board, is not necessarily correct.
Perform either procedure 1 or procedure 2 or procedure 3 when replacing board.

Procedure 1
Save the EVR data of the machine in which a board is going to be replaced. Download the saved data after a
board is replaced.

(Machine before starting repair) PC PC (Machine after a board is replaced)

Save the EVR data Download the saved

to a personal computer. data to a machine.

Procedure 2
Remove the EEPROM from the board of the machine that is going to be repaired. Install the removed EEPROM
to the replaced board.

Remove the EEPROM and install it.

(Former board) (New board)

Procedure 3
When the data cannot be saved due to defective EEPROM, or when the EEPROM cannot be removed or in-
stalled, save the data from the same model of the same destination, and download it.
(Machine to be repaired) PC (Machine to be repaired)

Download the data.

Save the data.

(The same model of the same destination)

After the EVR data is saved and downloaded, check the

respective items of the EVR data.

6-2. SERVICE MODE
2-1. APPLICATION FOR ADJUSTMENT (SEUS)
The application for adjustment (SEUS) is used to change the coef-
ficient for calculating the signal processing or EVR data. The SEUS
performs two-way communication between PC and set through
the USB terminal. The two-way communication result data can be
written to the nonvolatile memory.
2-1-1. Using Method of SEUS
1. Connection
1) Connect the HASP key to the USB terminal of the PC.
2) Connect the PC and set with the USB cable.
3) Confirm that the set starts in the USB mode.
4) Start the SEUS on the PC.
5) Click [Connect] on the SEUS screen. If the connection is nor-
mal, the SEUS screen will be as shown in Fig. 6-2-1, indicat-
ing the “connected” state.
Note: The SEUS will go in “disconnect" state, if the set is
turned off (for instance, by resetting the set). In such a
case, click [Connect] on the SEUS screen to restore
the “connected” state.
Fig. 6-2-1

DSC-U30
2. Operation
• Page change
To change the page, click [Page] on the SEUS screen and enter
the page to be changed. The page is displayed in hexadecimal
notation.
• Address change
To change the address, click [Address] on the SEUS screen and
enter the address to be changed. The address is displayed in
hexadecimal notation.
• Data change
To change the data, click [Set] on the SEUS screen and enter
the data. The data is displayed in hexadecimal notation.
This operation does not write the data to the nonvolatile memory.
• Data writing
To write the data to the nonvolatile memory, click [Write] on
the SEUS screen and enter the data to be written.
• Data reading
The data displayed on the SEUS screen are the data values at
the time when the pages and addresses were set, and they are
not updated automatically. To check the data change, click
[Read] on the SEUS screen and update the displayed data.
2-1-2. Precaution on Use of SEUS
Wrong SEUS operation could clear correct adjustment data. To
prevent the data clear by mistake, it is recommended to save all
adjustment data by clicking [Page Edit] on the SEUS screen be-
fore starting the adjustment.

2-2. DATA PROCESS 2-3. SERVICE MODE

In some adjustment items, the calculation of SEUS displayed data 1. Setting the Test Mode
(hexadecimal) is needed to check the specified data or to acquire
the adjustment data. In such a case, prepare a computer capable of Page 2F Address 21
calculating hexadecimal numbers.
Also, the data at two addresses are read, which are treated as 2 Data Function

• Before setting the data, select page: 00, address: 01, and set
data: 01.
• In the case of page 2F, writing the data by clicking [Write] on
the SEUS screen causes the data to be written to the nonvolatile
memory. In this case, the Test mode is not released even if the
set is turned off, thus requiring extreme care.
• After the adjustment/repair finished, be sure to return the data
to “00” to restore the Normal mode. Also, select page: 00, ad-
dress: 01, and set data: 00.
