The AMP parameter QuickEdit number is in the left column. The
value of that parameter is shown in the right column of the screen.
Patch AMP Search Functions
Use the search utility to quickly find the AMP parameter you need to edit.
The following procedure outlines how to use the search utility:
1. Press the
{SEARCH NUMBER}
softkey.
2. Using the keyboard, type in the parameter number to search for and
press the [TRANSMIT] key. The control will display the selected
parameter in reverse video.
If you enter a parameter number that can not be edited using patch AMP,
the control displays the error message “PARAMETER NUMBER NOT
FOUND”. Not all of the AMP parameter available can be edited using
patch AMP. If you need to edit a parameter not in patch AMP you must
use the ODS software. Refer to your 9/Series AMP reference manual for
details on using ODS software for editing AMP.
Editing AMP with the Patch AMP Utility
The control must be placed in E-STOP before you can modify patch AMP
parameters. Use this procedure to edit parameters using the Patch AMP
utility:
1. Using the cursor keys or the search utility place the cursor on the
AMP parameter to be edited. The selected parameter is shown in
reverse video.
2. Press the
{REPLCE VALUE}
softkey
3. Type in the new value of the parameter to be edited using the
keyboard. Pressing the [TRANSMIT] key will change the parameters
value on the CRT.
4. Repeat the above procedure until you have finished changing all the
parameters you need to modify. When you are done, press the
{UPDATE & EXIT}
softkey. This will make the corrections to the
controls AMP stored in RAM.
You will be prompted to power down the control and power it back up.
When power is reapplied to the control the new AMP values become
active. After your machine is running the way you want it to and all patch
AMP edits are completed, you should use the backup utility to write the
AMP to flash memory (see page 41-20 ).
