Command: nvs

Description:

The NVS command provides facilities for the maintenance of the NVS device.

Active parameters can be saved to NVS or restored from NVS. Saved parameters can be initialized to "-DFLT-". The set command provides the facilities for examining and changing active parameter values.

The MPE is equipped with an NVS device in which a variety of calibration and configuration parameters are stored. The contents of the NVS are separated into subsystems, each of which consists of calibration and configuration parameters. Some subsystems have more than one set of calibration and configuration parameters. In such cases, index numbers are used to refer to the different sets in a subsystem.

There are "active", "saved", and "default" parameters:

  1. "active" parameters are those values currently in use and are stored in volatile memory. Any change to the active parameters will be lost after the next reset or power cycle unless they are first saved.
  2. "saved" parameters are those which reside in NVS. Upon reset or power up, the saved parameter values are copied into the active parameters. The saved parameters are never used directly.
  3. For parameters which have never been saved to NVS, the saved value will be displayed as "-DFLT-". In such cases, the active parameter is copied from its corresponding default parameter. The default parameters are stored together with the MPE firmware and cannot be changed.
