c) LOAD LOCAL SETTINGS
You can view, modify and print settings loaded from a local file. It is not essential to connect to the device to load local set-
tings. The settings file is user selectable. A file open dialog box helps in locating the necessary file. The download and END
options in the settings dialog box will be disabled in this option. To load local settings when not connected to a device:
•
From the Device menu, choose the Local Settings item.
If you are already connected to a device,
•
From the Device menu, choose Settings.
•
From the drop down menu, choose Get Settings
•
Choose Load Local settings from the pop up menu.
In both cases, a dialog box appears where you can select the file to load from with the settings dialog box with the settings.
Multiple files can be opened simultaneously for viewing, modifying and printing. Refer to Section b): UPLOAD SETTINGS
for an explanation on the Settings dialog box features.
d) GET LOGIC
This command allows you to get configurable logic from the relay. This command automatically runs the Xpression Builder
program installed on your hard drive from the Xpression Builder install disk located in this instruction book. See Chapter 13.
After configurable logic is downloaded from Xpression Builder, the program returns to ALPS-Link, but does not close Xpres-
sion Builder. Since Xpression Builder is still open, ALPS-Link will not let the user upload the configurable logic again. The
uploaded logic window in Xpression Builder should be closed after the download by switching to the Xpression Builder
application and closing the window corresponding to the uploaded logic. The same is true between any two consecutive
logic upload operations.
e) SET DATE AND TIME
This feature helps you update the date and time in the device. Choose the Set Date/Time item from the Settings menu.
The Set Date/Time dialog box will appear with the date and time of the host computer.
Modify the date and time as required. Choose OK to proceed with the downloading to the device.
The Cancel button ignores the modifications done and quits the dialog box. Any modification done here is only downloaded
to the device and is not updated in the host computer.
