10.5 File Tab

The File Tab has three sections. Any of the options on this tab can also be accessed from
the File submenu.
The Template Section provides for opening and saving templates. The

Save and Save As

buttons provide the standard Windows functionality for dealing with files. The Open button
is used to open existing templates.

The

Open option allows for creating custom templates using the existing template in

memory as the starting point. Assign a new name for this template. The template will be
saved under this new name.

A typical scenario using the setup program would be the following:

• Open up a predefined template from the supplied list
• Choose ‘Save As’ to save this to a new file name
• Proceed to customize the template by making any changes that are needed
• Save the template to disk (if you want to reuse this template)
• Download the template to an attached unit.

The Communications with SP4000 Section allows the user to upload the setup from the
unit or download the program’s current template to the unit.
The Print (report) Section allows the user to:

1. Configure the current Windows printer through the Select Printer option.
2. Print a Maintenance Report through the PC's printer using the Print

Maintenance option.
