Miscellaneous Commands
Print
Select Print from the File menu or click the toolbar button to print the current file to the local
printer. The Windows Print Manager handles the printing, so if you exit IQ Master and close Windows
while the file is still being printed, some of the file may not be printed.
Transfer
An ASCII file may be transferred between the ULTRA Plus or IQ-Series controller and the PC. To bring
up the Transfer dialog box, Select Transfer from the File menu or click the toolbar button.
To transfer a file
•
Select Transfer from the File menu.
• Select the type of file to be transferred from the Transfer Type box: Program, Parameters, NVRAM
(all the controller memory), or All Programs.
• Select the Transfer Mode: Receive from IQ or Send to IQ.
• Choose the Start button to select the file source or destination PC file name from the Open file dia-
log box. If transferring Parameters, NVRAM, or All Programs, the transfer will start after you
select the file and choose the OK button.
• If the Transfer Type is Program, after you select the PC file name, select the program type, source
or executable, by selecting the appropriate radio button from the IQ Directory dialog box. Then
select the program to be transferred.
Initialize PM
Select Initialize PM from the File menu to initialize the Personality Module. Initialize PM allows the
user to configure the drive and motor through software selections, or to revert to factory default settings
for the PM. The initial dialog box provides three tabbed choices:
• IQ Series (ULTRA Plus)
• IQ 550
• Factory Default Initialization
The subsequent dialog boxes provide list box choices from which the PM parameters are matched to the
controller and motor for the application.
Note: Use Save Program to IQ to save the current file that is being edited to the IQ – do not use Trans-
fer. When Transfer is used to send files to the controller, the files that are saved to the controller are
files that currently exist on the PC disk. Save Program to IQ saves files that are currently in memory
(the current source file being edited and compiled).
If Transfer is used on a source file that has been edited but not saved, the file that is saved to the IQ-
Series controller will be the file that is on disk–that is, the previous version of the file without the lat-
est changes. If the source file being edited is then compiled with Compile Options set to Compile to
Disk, and Transfer is used to save the executable file to the controller, the source and executable pro-
grams on the controller will be different versions.
