Abstract

The DC60 data transmission method consists of steps for generating parameter setting data for the embedded hardware components, injecting the parameter setting data into the control code, and passing that control code. The parameter setting data sets parameters for all hardware versions and includes parameter setting data shared by at least the first and second hardware versions. There is parameter setting data restricted to the first hardware version and parameter setting data restricted to the second hardware version. Therefore, the first hardware version utilizes parameter setting data intentionally generated for it, while the second hardware version utilizes parameter setting data intentionally generated for it. The data transmission method consists of steps for generating parameter setting data for the embedded hardware components, injecting the parameter setting data into the control code, and passing that control code. The parameter setting data sets parameters for all hardware versions and includes parameter setting data shared by the first hardware version. And at least two, parameter setting information is restricted to the first hardware version, and parameter setting information is restricted to the second hardware version. Therefore, the first hardware version will utilize parameter setting information intentionally created for it, while the second hardware version will utilize parameter setting information intentionally created for it.
