Manual-10

Device > Name Device

Name Device allows you to name each RPM 26v and

their channels. The device and channel names are stored in
the unit. Type the unique name you want for each RPM 26v
in the

Device Name field, then press the Tab key to move the

focus to the next field. Type the names you want for each
channel in the remaining fields, then click

OK.

Device > Restore Names from File

This selection allows you to restore the Device, Input and

Output names from saved Memory backup files without
changing any of the device’s current settings.

Device > Print Device Report

Selecting this item prints the current device settings from

the current or working Memory. The control settings are
printed in a tabular format so you know precisely where each
control is set. Also printed is the Project, Site, and System
Engineer information you entered in the Edit Installation Info
dialog box, plus four blank lines for handwritten comments
and the report date.

Each of the RPM 26v parameters are printed including the

DSP Program with its description, the device address, device
name, the Memory number and Memory name. The device
report for each RPM 26v Memory is 7 pages, one for the
Input parameters and one page for each Output which
includes each Output’s overall response curve. See the
Overall Response Curve section on page Manual-20.

Device > Print Device Report from File

This menu item prints device settings from a stored file

instead of a connected unit. This allows you to setup a system,
save the system’s settings to a file and print them at your
office; saving you the hassle of dragging your printer to each
site just to print out device settings (though this may impress
your client).

Once you select the file with backed-up Memories to print,

the above window appears.

You can select one or more Memories to print. To select a

single Memory to print, click on your choice then click

OK.

As with many Windows selection boxes, to select a contigu-
ous range of Memories, click on the first Memory choice, then
hold down the

Shift key and click on the last Memory choice

of the range. This is a handy way to print Memories 1 through
5 for example, or even all 16 Memories. To select a random
group of Memories to print, click on the first choice, hold
down the

Ctrl key and click on any subsequent Memory

choices. Repeat this process until all the Memories you want
to print are selected, then click

OK.

Device > Device Status
Device Identifier is a unique number assigned to each unit by

the factory. It’s more for our information than yours.

Hardware Rev is the current revision number of the unit’s

hardware.

Firmware Rev is the current revision number of the unit’s

firmware. This is the software that is installed in each unit
and controls the actions of the internal microprocessor.

Total Running Time is the total amount of time that the unit

has been operating (powered).

Data Timeouts is the number of times RaneWare failed to

communicate with the selected unit since software launch.
This number should always be zero but could increase if the
communications cabling becomes intermittent or open.

Note: Be sure you have the above Device Status informa-

tion as well as the version number of RaneWare you are using
(found under

Help|About...) when calling the factory for

technical support.

Help Menu

The

Help menu provides extensive On-Line Help. There is

a help Index and a help Contents (F1) interface for quick
access to the information you may seek.

Also, the infamous

About... selection displays the beauti-

ful RaneWare splash screen where the current RaneWare
application software revision is available. The revision
number in

Help|About... is very important if you ever need

RPM 26v or RaneWare technical support from Rane.
