New
Select New from the File menu or click the toolbar button to open (create) a new file on the PC.
The default file name will be FILE1.QPS, the next one FILE2.QPS, and so on. After editing the pro-
gram, use Save As to save the file to disk under a name you choose.
To save the program to the ULTRA Plus or IQ, use Save Program to IQ (compile the program first if
you want to save the executable as well as the source).

Select Open from the File menu or click the toolbar button to open an existing file on the PC.
Select the file to be opened from the Open file dialog box.
Save
Select Save from the File menu or click the toolbar button to save the current file as it is named on
the PC.
Save As
Select Save As from the File menu to save the current file under a different name on the PC. This can be

IQ Commands
Open IQ Program
Select Open IQ Program from the File menu to open an existing source file in the ULTRA Plus or
IQ-Series controller. Select the file to be opened from the IQ Directory dialog box. The file to be opened
must be a source file–executable files cannot be edited.
The IQ Directory dialog box shows current programs that exist in the ULTRA Plus or IQ. The title of
the program is shown in the Program List box if the file has been compiled with a Title statement. Select
the program from the Program List box or, if you know the program number, enter the number in the
Program Number box.
The Directory drop down list box is used to change from Program Directory to System Directory. The
Program Directory contains user programs; the System Directory contains System Programs–programs
such as Jog, Home, Start, Stop, etc., that are used as predefined functions. The Auto Program is also in
the System Directory (program #0). The System Programs can be run by assigning an Fkey on the Oper-
ator Terminal to the program (use Fkey Set Up), or by a predefined input in specific cases such as Home
or Emergency Return.
After opening an existing source file, if you want to save the file to disk on the PC, use Save As and
specify the file name.
Save Program to IQ (F7)
Select Save Program to IQ from the File menu, click the toolbar button, or press F7 to save the
current file to the ULTRA Plus or IQ. Then select the program number to store the file in the IQ Direc-
tory dialog box. Choose the Executable radio button to save only the executable program (if the file has
been compiled with no errors). To save both the source and executable programs, choose the Source and
Executable radio button. (If the program has not been compiled successfully, only the source will be
saved.)
