Using the Drive CM Software
There are two main working areas in Drive CM. The Main Window (larger, left) is mostly used for setup
and configuration. The Auxiliary Window (smaller, right) has more dynamic operations available. Both
areas can be viewed simultaneously for maximum usefulness (ex: select both Index Edit and Indexer
Test to define and test Indexes at the same time). The left area is also used to run the Setup Wizard.
The Setup Wizard will walk you step-by-step through setting up the basic parameters of the system.
NOTE:
If you exit the “Setup Wizard” before completing the process, you will have to restart
the wizard from the beginning. The “Setup Wizard” will not update the drive’s parameters or
the parameters in the object dictionary until they are written to the drive.
NOTE: In the “About” drop down menu you can find the Drive CM software user manual for
specifics on each function in the software.
