Chapter 4 - Configuring Impulse with Application Developer

Fine-Tuning Your Application

Your basic system setup parameters have been configured by the Project Wizard, and though the system is functional, your application will probably require further configuration and fine-tuning.

The remainder of this chapter provides information on configuring your Impulse with Application Developer’s setup and I/O menus. In addition to the parameters configured by the Project Wizard, these menus provide additional features for more control of your system and greater capacity for applications. Also covered in this chapter is the Motion Node or Stored Move option.

The Project Wizard remains available at any time by clicking on the Project Wizard button. The Toolbar Buttons provide access to the setup parameters and other features that will be covered in the remainder of this chapter.

Toolbar Buttons

The Application Developer toolbar buttons allow quick access to most of the menus available on the menu bar. The toolbar buttons shown below are available when configuring an Impulse drive. If a button or item on the menu bar is grayed-out, that function is not available to Impulse users.
