To the right of each of the Parameter field labels are the values for each axis’s parameter
fields. You can change these values using the keyboard as described in Changing Data
from the Keyboard . Changes are sent to the motion control module only when a Set
Parameters Command is issued. There are several ways to send this command:
• Select a field in the axis you want initialized and press ALT+P.
• Select a field in the axis you want initialized and from the Command menu, click P-
Set Parameters.
• Select the COMMAND field in the axis you want initialized, type P, and then press
ENTER.
NOTE: The color of the Parameter values is significant. If an axis’s parameters are
displayed in WHITE, then no parameters have been changed since the last time
they were sent to the motion controller, otherwise they are displayed in RED.
This is done to remind the user to send a Set Parameters Command after
updating a parameter. After this command is issued to an axis, the parameters
for that axis will be displayed in WHITE.
NOTE:When in Read-back Mode , you will notice that RED parameters will be replaced
with WHITE parameters as the current values are read from the motion control
module. This is done to indicate that the values displayed match those used by
the motion controller.
