The menu option provides the user with the ability to gather information on the amount of memory available on 
the Optimus, as well as the ability to initialize the memory.  This is accomplished by choosing one of the two 
available selections: 
 

1. Size 

Info. 

2. Initialize 

 
 

Size Info 
 

The Optimus contains three types of memory: Base RAM, SRAM and Flash memory.  These three types 
of memory allow the Optimus to perform operational tasks at an optimal level.   

 

Base RAM:  The Base RAM is the primary memory in the Optimus and is the location where 
application is stored and accessed. 
 
Memory Card:  The Memory Card is basically SRAM and is memory that retains data as long as 
power is being supplied.  SRAM does not have to be periodically refreshed and provides quick 
access to data.  This is the location that the data collected will be stored.   

 

Flash memory:  Flash memory is a type of constantly powered nonvolatile memory that can be 
erased and reprogrammed easily.  This allows users to program the Optimus effortlessly. 

 
 
Initialize

 

 

This selection enables the user of the Optimus to initialize the memory (SRAM). 
 

 
Warning: Initializing the memory will erase the current data in memory. 

 

 
Selecting the Power option allows the user to view the actual voltages of the main battery and the backup battery. 
 
 

 
The selection of Load Program enables the user to download an application program to the Optimus.  
 

Note: For further information on application program downloads see the Optimizer User’s guide (MLPN 00-02052).
