2. Right-click Axis x Status and select Duplicate.

The Save component name window opens.

3. Name the new parameter file.

In this example, there are two existing
pre-configured axes. We are duplicating and
renaming the Axis 1 Status parameter file. The
new name is Axis 3 Status. Yours could be
different.

4. Click OK.

5. Double-click the Axis 3 Status parameter file created in step 3.

The Axis x Status - CIMME_U3k_PVPxxxx_v00x/Parameters window
opens.

In each parameter file, there are three references to specific tags or
partial strings. The # before a number indicates a parameterized tag. (The ! before any text
indicates that line is a comment.)

Parameter #1 contains the shortcut name (CLX in this example). This should match the
shortcut name used in step 10 on

.

Parameter #2 represents the specific axis from which you will be requesting data.

Parameter #3 is a string memory tag that exists in the tag database editor. A new tag must be
created each time a new axis is created so that the displays are updated correctly.

IMPORTANT

All pre-configured application files have four SelectedAxisx memory tags created for them.
New tags must be created for axis counts of five or more.
