Figure 28: PowerTools Pro Operation Preferences Window

Following is a description of each of the preference settings:

4.4.5.1 Download Group

4.4.5.1.1 Ignore saving file on Ptools/Drive revision conversion

On a download PowerTools Pro first checks the revision of the SM-EZMotion module firmware before downloading the configuration. If the firmware in the module is older than the matching software revision, PowerTools Pro then converts the user configuration to match the firmware revision in the module. Because certain parameters may need to be changed to match the firmware revision, PowerTools asks the user if they wish to save the file before it is converted. If the user wishes to download without saving every time, and therefore avoid being asked on every download, this checkbox should be checked.

4.4.5.1.2 Overwrite - Reset the NVM configuration

When this radio button is selected the "Overwrite" option will be used on every download to the module. For more details on how the Overwrite option works, see the Download NVM Options above.

Note

Note: It is required to Overwrite the Non-Volatile Memory on the first download to the module since no Non-Volatile Memory parameters have been loaded into the drive on initial startup.

4.4.5.1.3Update - Upload the values into the current Update PowerTools Pro configuration

When this radio button is selected the "Update" option will be used on every download to the module. For more details on how the Update option works, see the Download NVM Options above.

4.4.5.1.4Keep - Remember the values and restore them after the

download

When this radio button is selected the "Keep" option will be used on every download to the module. For more details on how the Keep option works, see the Download NVM Options above.

4.4.5.1.5 Ask on each download

When this radio button is selected, the user will be prompted on every download to select either the Overwrite, Update, or Keep option. This is the default preference setting.

4.4.5.2 Upload Group

4.4.5.2.1 Always convert Application to latest Ptools capability

When an Upload is performed, PowerTools Pro checks the revision of the SM-EZMotion module firmware before uploading the configuration. If this radio button is selected, and the firmware is older than the matching software revision, PowerTools Pro will automatically update the uploaded file to match the current functionality of PowerTools Pro.

4.4.5.2.2 Always leave Application matching Module capability

When an Upload is performed, PowerTools Pro checks the revision of the SM-EZMotion module firmware before uploading the configuration. If this radio button is selected, and the firmware is older than the matching software revision, PowerTools Pro will NOT automatically update the uploaded file to match the current functionality of PowerTools Pro.

4.4.5.2.3 Ask on each upload

When this radio button is selected, the user will be prompted on every upload to select whether they wish to convert the uploaded file to latest software capability or not. This is the default preference setting.

4.4.5.3 Upload Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) Group

4.4.5.3.1 Always upload NVM

When uploading a configuration, PowerTools Pro uploads from a Non-User NVM location, so the data uploaded only matches exactly what was last downloaded. If any parameters in the Save to NVM list have changed since the last download, those new values would not be uploaded. By selecting this radio button, the parameter values in the Save to NVM list will be uploaded into the PowerTools Pro configuration after the normal upload.
