A default workspace is generated when the
TAM Software
is installed. This default workspace folder is
named
Triamec
and it is located in the
PublicDocuments
folder. When
TAM System Explorer
is started
the first time, this workspace will be loaded. After a restart of
TAM System Explorer
, the last used
workspace will be loaded automatically. Use the
File
menu to handle the different workspaces:
File > New > Workspace
: creates a new workspace.
File > Open Workspace
: loads an existing workspace.
File > Open Workspace Folder
: opens the currently loaded workspace folder in Windows File Ex-
plorer.
File > Recent Workspace > …
: select and load a recently opened workspace.
The currently active workspace folder is shown in the title bar of
TAM System Explorer
.
3.5 TAM Configuration
The parametrization of a
Topology Tree
is called
TAM Configuration
. The
TAM configuration
contains the
parametrization of the drives, the names of the nodes in the topology and other information.
The
TAM Configuration
can be saved
persistent on the drive:
If the
TAM Configuration
is saved persistent on the drive, this configuration
becomes active directly after restarting the drive. A drive without a persistent
TAM Configuration
will load an initial configuration on start-up with default values for all registers.
or as a
*.TAMcfg file on the PC:
The
*.TAMcfg
file is useful to exchange a configuration between
machines of the same type or to save and archive the configuration status of a machine. It is recom-
mended to save the configuration during setup of the configuration occasionally to have a backup in
case of a problem.
The
*.TAMcfg
file is formatted as an
XML
file and can also be opened with a suitable editor (e.g.
+
) or with a file comparison tool to compare two different states of the configuration (
e.g.
WinMerge
). Scope settings are
not
part of the
TAM Topology Tree
and have to be stored separately
(see section 3.3.7).
