Ultraware Software Updates Appendix A
Ultra5000 Drive-related Enhancements
•
Template for new projects. When a new project is created it is
automatically populated with a source file containing the skeleton of a
basic Ultra5000 motion program. The template may be customized as
well. The template is in the form of an Ultraware export file (.uxf ) named
New Project.uxf in the Ultraware installation directory. You can replace
this uxf file with your own exported project to define your own project
template.
•
Ratchet Enable/Disable commands have been removed. Disabling the
ratchet is unnecessary and can lead to confusion when using gearing.
•
Reset Drive to Factory Settings. The main Ultra5000 drive window now
contains a button which resets the drive to factory settings. The flash file
system is cleaned, removing all user programs, drivers, cam files, and
archives. All attributes are returned to their default values.
•
The Service Info page now displays current and peak CPU utilization
levels for all four frames of the sequencer.
General Enhancements
•
The way Ultraware software manages a .udb files has been updated. All
changes are made to a temporary file until you perform a File/Save or File/
Save As. This also lets you open a file, make changes, and exit without
saving your changes. Ultraware software keeps track of modifications to
the temporary file, and prompts you with the option to save your changes
when you close a file or exit the application. With this change, the File/
New command no longer requires you to select a udb file name right away.
•
The oscilloscope now contains a Save button, which lets the data displayed
in the scope to be written to a tab delimited text file, which can then be
read into other programs, such as Excel.
•
The Ultraware help file has been expanded to provide instructions for
using the Motor Configuration tool, and provide access to the release
notes.
