Cygnus Editor Operating Manual

Controller> is selected, any bounds checking
that is performed based on the controller
hardware is not reliable. However, when the
Configuration is sent to the controller it will be
checked against the actual hardware for the
controller on which it is being loaded, and
any parameters that are out of bounds will be
flagged as errors. At that time the
Configuration must be corrected in order to
be run.

Config Name . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The file name used to save the

Configuration. Any name can be used, but a
descriptive name is recommended. Since the
Cygnus Editor is a 32 bit application, the
name is not limited to eight characters and an
extension, thus allowing a more descriptive
name to be chosen. If the extension is
omitted,

.isc

will be appended to the

filename. The filename can be changed at
any time during the Configuration editing
process.

Query All . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The Query All button will, if a controller is

attached, read the entire contents of the
controller and load those parameters into the
Editor. This is the best way to edit a
Configuration for a controller that has already
been programmed as it ensures that the
contents of the Editor are synchronized with
the controller contents.

NOTE: The Query All button on the main page (

Figure 3-7 on page 3-5

)

reads all the parameters from the controller for all of the editor
pages. This is not true for the Query All buttons on each page,
which only read the parameters for the page being edited.

NOTE: It is recommended that the Query All button be used prior to

editing a configuration for a controller that is online (i.e. connected
to the PC).
