Each project contains several applications that include these files:
•
machine configuration
•
machine interface
•
machine motion control
You can access the F3-Application pull-down menu when you create
or select a project. The type of applications available for a project
depends on the controller that is being integrated to the machine.
Utility
The F4-Utility pull-down menu lets you select the utility needed for
your application. The utilities that are available depend on the active
application. For example, the AMP application includes:
•
an editor utility that lets you create and edit AMP parameter files
•
a document utility that creates lists of the parameter values in an
AMP parameter file
The file directory is one of the ODS management tools. All
directories have the same basic format as in the screen shown below,
but each lists different types of files, depending on the active
application.
