XTC/3 Editor Operating Manual
editing a Configuration for a controller which
is off-line, or if blank is selected, any bounds
checking that is performed based on the
controller hardware is not reliable. However,
when the Configuration is sent to the
controller it will be checked against the actual
hardware for the controller on which it is
being loaded, and any parameters that are
out of bounds will be flagged as errors. At
that time the Configuration must be corrected
in order to be run.
Config Name . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The file name used to save the
Configuration. Any name can be used, but a
descriptive name is recommended. Since the
XTC/3 Editor is a 32 bit application, the name
is not limited to eight characters and an
extension, thus allowing a more descriptive
name to be chosen. If the extension is
omitted,
.xtc
will be appended to the
filename. The filename can be changed at
any time during the Configuration editing
process. The configuration file must be
saved using the
.xtc
extension.
Query All . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The Query All button will, if a controller is
attached, read the entire contents of the
controller and load those parameters into the
Editor. This is the best way to edit a
Configuration for a controller that has already
been programmed as it ensures that the
contents of the Editor are synchronized with
the controller contents.
NOTE: The Query All button on the main page (
reads all the parameters from the controller for all of the editor
pages. This is not true for the Query All buttons on each page,
which only read the parameters for the page being edited.
NOTE: It is recommended that the Query All button be used prior to
editing a configuration for a controller that is online (i.e. connected
to the PC).
Undo Last Send . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Every time Send All is performed, the Undo
Last Send button is enabled. Clicking on this
button will revert the controller to its previous
state.
