XTC/3 Editor Operating Manual

Send All. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . This will, if a controller is attached, send the

entire contents of the editor (i.e. all
parameters on all pages) to the controller.
This is the best way to program (or update) a
controller as it ensures that the entire
contents of the Editor is sent and stored in
the controller.

NOTE: If standard procedure is to use the Send All button, then it is

recommended that the Query All button (or Query Controller Cfg,

Figure 3-4

) be used prior to editing a configuration.

Save. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Pressing Save will provide a Save As dialog,

which allows the Configuration to be saved to
disk. Saving the Configuration to disk will
close the Editor.

Cancel . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . This will prompt you to save any unsaved

changes before closing, otherwise it will
discard any changes made to the
Configuration and close the Editor. However,
this does not remove changes that have
already been sent to the controller.

NOTE: The Cancel button on the individual pages will prompt to save any

unsaved changes before that individual page is closed. On
individual pages, those changes are saved to the Editor memory
and to the Main Page, but not to disk or the Controller.

Clear . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Clears the response status window shown at

the bottom of the Editor page. The status
window is used to show communication
errors that may occur during the Query and
Send operations.

To get started on Editing a Configuration, single click on the System Parameters
plus sign (+) and then double click on the Parameter Group label "General
Parameters". This will launch the editable page for General Parameters as shown
in

Figure 3-12
