Saving and Loading Programs
Pico GFX-70 provides you with two ways of saving circuit diagrams externally:
• Saving to a memory module
• Saving on a PC with PicoSoft Pro.
Once they have been saved, programs can be reloaded into Pico GFX-70,
edited and run.
All program data is saved in Pico GFX-70. In the event of a power failure the
data will be retained until the next time it is overwritten or deleted.
Memory Module
Each memory module contains a circuit diagram which is inserted into the
Pico GFX-70 interface.
The Pico GFX-70 behaves in the following manner in accordance with the
type and setting.
Requirement:
A valid circuit diagram must be stored on the card.
Variants with display:
Go to the CARD menu and load the circuit diagram into the unit in STOP
mode via CARD
→ DEVICE. (See CARD MODE setting in Card Startup
Behavior on page 7-18.)
Variants without display:
If the circuit diagram on the card is different to the circuit diagram in the
device, the program from the card is loaded as soon as the power supply is
turned on.
PicoSoft Pro
PicoSoft Pro is a PC program for creating, testing and managing Pico GFX-70
programs, visualization applications and circuit diagrams.
Completed programs are exchanged between the PC and Pico GFX-70 via the
connection cable. Once you have transferred a circuit diagram, you can start
Pico GFX-70 straight from your PC.
