Definitions
- a method of customizing user settings on a target instrument includes providing a configuration module for customizing user settings on a target instrument; providing a representation module with a duplicate of firmware of the target instrument; communicably coupling the representation module to the configuration module; and actuating the configuration and representation modules to generate a customized set of user settings for the target instrument.
- Fig. 5 is a block diagram of a system associated with an embodiment of the present invention
- Fig. 6 is a block diagram of a system associated with an embodiment of the present invention.
- the term "computer” is meant to encompass a workstation, personal computer (PC), personal digital assistant (PDA), smart phone, cellular telephone, or any other suitable computing device having a processor, a computer readable medium upon which computer readable program code may be disposed, and a user interface.
- platform refers to a foundation technology of a machine, such as a hardware layer or an operating system.
- firmware refers to software routines (e.g., code) and/or tables stored in non-volatile memory of an instrument to nominally prevent modification of the software routines during normal operation of the instrument.
- firmware duplicate refers to a copy of some firmware from the target instrument, and may include additional code and/or tables.
- memory includes any computer readable media, such as RAM
