Cygnus Editor Operating Manual
4.3.1 Edit Current Configuration
The Monitor >> Edit Current Configuration reads the entire Configuration from
the Cygnus Controller and locks the Controller front panel against any changes
being made. This selection performs the Query Controller Cfg function that is
recommended as the starting point for editing a Configuration (see
section 3.2,
Using the Configuration Editor, on page 3-2 ). Any changes made to the
Configuration can be sent to the controller by selecting the parameter (i.e. checking
the Send box) and pressing the Send Selection button in the Editor.
The effect of a parameter change should appear immediately in the data collection
if the parameter is related to data collection.
NOTE: Use of Monitor >> Edit Current Configuration may result in delayed data
plotting during the brief time that the entire Controller configuration is being
sent to the computer from the Cygnus Controller.
4.3.2 New Configuration
The Monitor >> New Configuration loads the Editor with a default configuration
from disk, which then allows for any parameter to be programmed and sent to the
Controller. This is typically used to change a few parameters without impacting data
collection.
4.3.3 Open Configuration
The Monitor >> Open Configuration loads the Editor with a previously saved
configuration from disk. This is typically used to program an idle channel while
other channels are running and data collection is ongoing.
4.4 Recalling Data
Data that has been saved to disk can be recalled into the Monitor view by using the
File >> Open menu selection, the File Open toolbar button, the Recall toolbar
button or the context-menu selection of Recall. All options are shown in
Figure
4-15 . When using Recall, the file type is defaulted to Cygnus Data (*.sod), which
is the correct file type for data files. When using File >> Open, the default file type
is Cygnus Configuration (*.isc), so to access and open a data file the path and
file type must be changed to the \Data folder and Cygnus Data (*.sod),
respectively.
