3.6.7.2. Managing Curves in the Curve Tool
Use the Curve Tool for managing curves, including creating, editing, viewing, downloading,
uploading, importing and exporting.
Managing Permanent Curves
A permanent curve is a curve either created in the Curve Tool or using the Curve Add
(82) command with the Permanent life cycle. Permanent curves are synchronized
between the controller and project file using the Curve Tool. Permanent curves are also
saved to the flash memory in the controller when a Flash Update is initiated. See
Updating Flash for details.
The permanent type curves in the Curve Tool are uploaded and downloaded as an entire
set.
• Click the Download Curves to Controller button to download the entire set of
curves in the project into the controller, replacing all permanent curves in the
controller. It will leave temporary curves unaffected, except that temporary curves
whose curve IDs matched a downloaded curve will be overwritten.
• Click the Upload Curves from Controller button to upload the entire set of
permanent type curves from the controller into the project, replacing all curves in the
project. Temporary curves are not uploaded into the project.
The Sync column in the Curves In Project and Curves in Controller windows is used by
permanent curves to indicate the differences between the curves in the project and in the
controller as follows:
The curve exists both in the project and the controller, but the two curves are
different.
The curve exists only in the project. Download to copy the curve into the
controller. Upload to delete the curve from the project.
