Configuring Control Options
Before beginning a new diagram, you must define basic control options
by either using the configuration settings from an existing diagram or by
selecting new settings. GML Commander uses this information to
customize the menu options based on the controller you are using.
This chapter provides step-by-step procedures for defining required
system configuration options that are common to all diagrams that you
create. The main topics in this chapter include:
• Defining a diagram’s configuration settings
• Setting the axes
• Setting the serial port interface
• Setting the Flex I/O
Defining a Diagram’s Configuration Settings
To define a diagram’s configuration, you can either copy a diagram that
already has the configuration you need, or select from the GML
Commander menu options and create the unique setting that you need.
Understanding the Precedence of Changing Setup Parameters
You can change setup parameters in a diagram block or from the
Configure menu, depending on the extent of the change.
• If a parameter only pertains to the current diagram or a portion of the
diagram, set a new or modified parameter in the diagram block.
