A method for correcting an error of a nonvolatile memory of an embedded component for an end effector used in a robotic surgical system is provided. The robotic surgical system includes a host controller in communication with the embedded component. The embedded component of the end effector performs a test process to test the nonvolatile memory. The host controller of the robotic surgical system requests a result of the test process from the embedded component of the end effector. The host controller determines that the error of the nonvolatile memory has occurred after requesting the result of the test process from the embedded component of the end effector. The host controller modifies the nonvolatile memory of the embedded component of the end effector to correct the error.
A method for correcting an error of a nonvolatile memory of an embedded component for an end effector used in a robotic surgical system including a host controller in communication with the embedded component, said method comprising the steps of:
A host controller of a robotic surgical system being configured to communicate with an embedded component of an end effector used in the robotic surgical system and with the embedded component comprising a nonvolatile memory, and with said host controller being configured to:
