device and then right click and select Add Device . This will bring up the Add Unit form in which you select
the type of device to add.
Most devices that should handle result data require a Reporter to function properly. The Reporter controls
what data that is reported over the device, and how it is formatted.
For devices that must have a Reporter, a Reporter is added automatically. For devices that can have a
Reporter you will be asked if one should be added. In both cases, if a predefined Reporter exists for the
device type added, you will be offered to choose one of them (see Predefined reporter settings for how to
add your own). If a reporter is added it must also be configured. See chapter: Edit reporter for how to do
this.
When ToolsTalk PowerMACS is online the TC popup menu contains a Manage Software alternative.
When this alternative is selected the Software Versions form is opened.
This form lists the running software versions for the Servo and Spindle and also the software versions
stored in the TC:s flash memory. The servo and spindle software is not automaticly upgraded
– you
should always verify with the release notes if it is necessary to upgrade the servo or spindle software.
