Note : Upon installation of the SPEAKER software the installation program checks whether the macros
SPEAKER0.MAC to SPEAKER6.MAC do already exist. If this is the case, the macros are not re-
installed to prevent user-defined macros to be overwritten. If a re-installation is desired, the
macros in the SPEAKER directory must first be cleared. Command line (at the operating system
level):
⇒
DEL C:\SPEAKER\SPEAKER?.MAC
6 6.2 .2 Creating and Using Different Configuration Files Creating and Using Different Configuration Files
All settings required for the application are stored in the default configuration file SPEAKER.CFG and
loaded when the application is started. It may be desirable to overwrite this data record with other settings
during the application run, eg when another type of DUT is to be tested. In this case it is not necessary to
call up menu items and enter new parameters. These presettings are particularly important in macro
operation where the manual entry of parameters is rather tiresome.
The current configuration is stored with the softkey sequence
⇒
UTILITY -> CONFIGUR -> STORE -> xxxx,
where xxxx is either
•
a predefined memory location CONFIG 0 to CONFIG 5 or
•
an explicit file name (via USER CFG).
A configuration is loaded - ie the current configuration is overwritten - by pressing softkeys
⇒
UTILITY -> CONFIGUR -> LOAD -> xxxx,
where xxxx has the same function as for storing.
Note :
•
With USER CFG, a macro can be used with different configuration files.
•
Loading a configuration overwrites the currently used configuration. If the currently used
configuration should be saved, it must first be stored in one of the configuration files and then called
up again.
•
If a configuration file has been loaded by mistake, which should not become the new default
configuration, the application should be quit with CTRL C.
•
The installed configuration files should be used as standard with the macros of the same name.
They should however be adapted by the user to the DUT. To do so each configuration has to be
loaded, modified by entering the desired parameters (via the softkey tree or by entering values) and
stored again.
•
When the SPEAKER software is installed, a check is made during the installation whether the
configuration files SPEAKER0.CFG to SPEAKER5.CFG already exist. If this is the case they will
not be re-installed to prevent user-defined files being overwritten. If a re-installation is desired, the
configuration files in the SPEAKER directory must first be cleared. Command line (at the operating
system level):
⇒
DEL C:\SPEAKER\SPEAKER?.CFG
6 6.3 .3 Labelling of Macro and Configuration Memory Locations Labelling of Macro and Configuration Memory Locations
To replace the neutral designations of the macro and configuration memory locations by user-defined
ones, the BASIC lines 10110 or 10180 in the UTILITY.BAS module have to be changed. Eight characters
are available for each softkey; the total length of the string must not be changed.
