Additional Information
RECOVER.BAT (recommended) After new Operating Software is installed, the RECOVER.
BAT batch file is run if it exists. Again, you provide it; if it is not there, the console restarts as
normal. You can use it to copy back your customised fixture library (which is normally renamed
to FIXTURE.OLD during installation) and your network configuration files. The batch file could
look like this:
COPY FIXTURE.OLD FIXTURE.LIB /Y
COPY ATCPAGE.OLD ATCPAGE.LIB /Y
COPY 220NODE.OLD 220NODE.CFG /Y
Note that installing software at DOS does NOT run RECOVER.BAT.
