6.0 EasyManager Operations
The EasyManager is a software shell for launching several utilities. Some
functions are duplicated in the EasyBuilder screen-editing program. While the
EasyBuilder program can be run as a stand-alone program, it is advised to run
EasyManager first to set the COM port.
EasyManager has the following components:
6.1 COM Port Drop-Down Box
Select the number of the RS232 Serial COM port for communications to the
MMI. Ports COM1 through COM10 are available for selection.
Note: Make sure that some other program is not already using the selected
COM port. EasyManager and EasyBuilder will not take control of a COM
port that is used by another program. Communications time out errors will
be displayed when attempting EasyManager functions.
6.2 Communications Speed Drop-Down Box
This selection is used to determine the communications speed between the PC
and the unit during downloads and uploads. If you are using the MT5_PC cable
to download, the 115200 speed is recommended. When using extension
cables, the 38400 speed is recommended.
6.3 Project or Recipe Download/Upload
There are two types of communications: Downloading - sends data to the unit
and Uploading - retrieves data from a unit. The data that is sent or received
can be a compiled project's object file (file with *.eob extension) or retentive
memory (recipe) data (file with *.rcp extension).
Select Project Download/Upload to transfer only project data.
Select Recipe Download/Upload to transfer only retentive memory (recipe) data.
6.4 Complete or Partial Download/Upload
The Complete or Partial Download/Upload is used to determine how much retentive memory (recipe) data is transferred to or
from the unit during Download or Upload.
A Complete Download/Upload sends/retrieves the full 65535 bytes of retentive memory (recipe) data from the MMI.
A 32K Partial Download/Upload sends/retrieves only the first 32767 bytes of retentive memory (recipe) data.
6.5 EasyBuilder
This button launches the EasyBuilder screen editor. This is used for project creation, editing, compiling, simulation and
downloading.
