Erasing a Configuration from the Device's Memory

After having configured devices in the Daisy Chain configuration program, you can save the settings in the devices' own memory. If you want to remove these settings from the device memory, you can erase the configuration explicitly using the Daisy Chain configuration program.

Note
Erasing the configuration is only possible if the arrangements in the editor and in the actual chain topology match, i.e. if they contain the same numbers and types of devices and the devices are assigned to a chain in the same order. To check whether the arrangements match, you can verify the daisy chain configuration. If you need to adapt the arrangement in the Daisy Chain configuration program, you can do a search for hardware and map connected devices to those used in the editor.

To erase the configuration from the memory of physically connected hardware:

In the Topology list, select the chain or device whose configuration you would like to erase.
If you select a chain, the configuration of all devices in that chain will be erased at once from the memory of the corresponding hardware devices.
Make sure that an IP address is set for that chain in the Daisy Chain configuration program; otherwise assign an IP address to the chain.
In the Device menu, select Erase Configuration.

The Daisy Chain configuration program searches for a physically connected daisy chain which has the same IP address and layout as the chain selected in the editor. Having found the hardware, the editor erases the parameter configuration from the device memory.
