Chapter 4 - Configuring Impulse with Application Developer
4-10

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 Stor ed Move opt ion.
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 cov ered in
the remainder of this chapter.
