1.13 Saving Your Settings
The very last screen in the axis wizard sequence is called “Completing the Axis Wizard” and serves the purpose of
reminding you to save the control parameter settings that you established with the Axis Wizard to a project file.
Projects are a useful way to manage multiple Pro-Motion sessions, particularly when experimenting with different
hardware setups or different control parameter groupings.
Each project can be assigned a name and recalled at a later time using that name. The application information that is
stored via the project mechanism includes gain settings, safety limits, and other parameters set up with the Axis Wizard
or set while using the main parameter setting windows provided by Pro-Motion. The list of parameters that are saved
and recalled with the project mechanism can be set by the user if desired.
To store parameters to a project select File/New Project from the main menu at the top of the screen.
1.14 Exploring Further
Once you are finished setting up the motor using the Axis Wizard and saving your project settings, Pro-Motion has
extensive performance trace facilities that can be accessed from its main control windows along with other motor
control functions. You can use these facilities to further checkout and optimize your system’s performance.
When restarting Pro-Motion it is generally useful to restore the configuration that you have saved from your past
Pro-Motion sessions. Do this by selecting File/Open Project, selecting the correct file previously stored.
