Saving Parameter Values in a Text File
Overview
The E-871.1A1N is configured via parameters, e.g., for adapting to the mechanics. Changing
parameter values can cause undesirable results.
►
Create a backup copy on the PC before changing the parameter settings of the
E-871.1A1N. You can then restore the original settings at any time.
►
Create an additional backup copy with a new file name each time after optimizing the
parameter values or adapting the E-871.1A1N to specific mechanics.
Parameter values saved in a text file on the PC can be loaded back to the E-871.1A1N in
PIMikroMove or PITerminal. The
Send file... button is available for this purpose in the send
command window. Before loading into the E-871.1A1N, the individual lines of the text files
must be converted into command lines that contain the corresponding SPA or SEP
commands.
