Changes to device outputs while parameter set / default settings are loaded (eliminated from V5.0 onwards)

Eliminated from:
StateLine / HighLine with firmware version V05.01 or higher

Behaviour of the new version?
The levels at the outputs are frozen for up to 50 ms while the 'Load parameter set' / 'Load default settings' commands are executed.

---

Which products are affected?
8400 StateLine / HighLine with FW < 05.01

What happens?
If the parameter set already available in the device is reloaded into the main memory with the 'Load parameter set' or 'Load default settings' device commands, the levels of the output signals are set to 0 at first. This may cause signal changes (short toggling) at the device outputs (DigitalOut, AnalogOut, CANOut, brake output, ...).
As a result, connected devices may switch or start.

When does the problem occur?
If the connections to the output signals are reloaded with identical values (signal sources). This is the case if the 'Load parameter set' or 'Load default settings' device command is executed.

Possible diagnostics?
Record the output levels when executing the command (e.g. using the oscilloscope, PCAN Explorer).

Short-term measures / recommendations?
None

Evaluation:
The toggling of the signals does not even last for 50 ms and is hardly perceived in electrical switching elements.
