Using the Program Manager Control
From the Program Manager control you can manage programs, create new programs, and assign
programs to tasks.
The use of the Program Manager control differs between V+ and MicroV+ systems. Refer to the section
below that applies to your system.
Figure 16 Program Manager Interface
Managing Programs in V+
The Program Manager displays the list of all programs in a hierarchical view, organized by modules.
From this list you can carry our various operations on programs through the toolbar, the context menu,
or by dragging elements in the interface.
Programs in the Program Manager are physically on the controller. Until a program is saved, it exists in
volatile memory (RAM) only. See
Saving Programs in V+ for details on saving files and modules.
Opening Programs
To open a program and add it to the program list:
• Drag any program file (*.V2) from the Microsoft Windows Explorer or the Adept File Manager
Utility and drop it onto this area. The file will automatically be loaded into the memory of the
connected Adept controller.
• From the toolbar, select Open Program. In the Open form, browse to find a file on the
controller or on the computer.
