Using ODS for Project
Management

This chapter tells you how to use ODS for project management
activities such as creating a new project, opening an existing project,
and selecting a utility. Other functions of the project management
feature are listed below.

A project is a directory that stores configuration, interface, and
motion control files for a particular control or application. You
