The Generate Configuration command from the Commands menu is
used to generate the rack configuration object file or, for UDC
modules in the rack, the drive parameter object file. When the
Generate Configuration command is selected, the following options
will be displayed: Generate Rack Configuration (either standard or
mapping I/O locations to memory for testing) and Generate Drive
Parameter Files. The next two sections describe these options.

command is also used to load the drive parameter object file to the
UDC. See section 14.3 for information about loading the drive
parameter object files.
