the device. If the tool was not in sync with the device previously, the red dots in the
first column will turn green as the map on that line is updated and synced with the
device.
Click ‘Write All’ to begin the process of writing all object maps to the device. It would
generally be assumed that you will only click this button after opening a file containing
a previously defined configuration.
9.2 Select for Edit
Click any line in the list of objects to be taken directly to the object map editing page
for that object.
9.3 File Read/Write (Object Map CSV)
Click the ‘new’ icon to erase all object maps.
Click the ‘open file’ icon to read a set of object maps from a CSV file. If you will be
replicating the same configuration multiple times, you will save time by creating a file
that can be reloaded. The currently open file will be indicated in the title bar of the
program.
Click the ‘save’ icon to re-save the previously opened file, or to save for the first time
if creating a new file. The presently displayed device configuration will be saved.
Click the ‘save as’ icon to create a copy of a previously opened file. A file dialog will
appear allowing you to browse a selected directory and rename the file.
The file icons at the top of the tool screen will be different colors on different pages,
and will be absent on some pages. These icons only appear where a file save is
applicable.The different colors are meant to suggest different file types are used with
different pages. There are 2 file types: (i) Device and Object Map XML, (ii) Object Map
CSV. The XML file type will be saved from either the Device or Objects tabs while the
CSV file type will be saved from the Obj List page.
NOTE: The CSV file must be in a specific format. The CSV file can be edited with any
standard spread sheet program such as Microsoft Excel®. When creating or
manipulating a large configuration, this can be a time saving approach to creating the
configuration. However, some practice will be required to learn proper formatting, etc,
before it will become a time saver. Refer to the section ‘Editing a CSV Object Map File’
that follows later.
Prior to reading any objects, the screen will appear as follows:
