User mode WITHOUT an Array Definition File
The stand-alone Array Editor User mode dialog is shown below.
To use it WITHOUT an Array Definition File, follow these steps.
1. Press the → Select button. This will display the normal APOSS "Select Controller" dialog that will
allow the user to set interface parameters, open interfaces, and choose a controller. Once the
connection to the controller has been opened, the controller name will appear in the Array Editor
dialog. The "Read from Controller" string will show the date and time when the arrays were read
from the controller.
All existing arrays in the controller (including the User array, Global parameter array, permanent
and temporary Axis parameter arrays, Axis Process data arrays, etc.) will be read automatically and
displayed in the dialog. The array number (or name for User, Global, and Axis arrays) is displayed in
the "Array" column, the array index is displayed in the "Index" column, and the value is displayed in
the "Controller" column. The array selection box in the bottom-left of the dialog will list all the
arrays that were found on the controller.
2. At any time once a controller is open, pressing the → Read from Controller button will re-read all
the arrays from the controller and display the current values in the dialog. The "Read from
Controller" string will be updated to show the date and time when the arrays were read from the
controller.
3. Click on any array in the array selection box to select that array for editing.
4. To change the value of an array element, click on the "Value" column of that array element. A small
edit box will then be opened allowing the user to enter a new value. A new value may be entered
either with the keyboard or by typing [Ctrl]-[V] to paste a value from the Windows clipboard.
Note that some array elements may be read-only. These will be displayed green and cannot be
changed by the user.
Press the [Enter] key to accept the new value. Press the [Esc] key to discard the new value and
keep the previous value. Clicking with the mouse anywhere other than within the small edit box will
automatically be treated as if the [Enter] key had been pressed.
Note that the "Value" column will contain only those values that have been changed. The values will
be displayed in red if they are different from the values currently stored on the controller.
5. When editing is complete, press → Write to Controller. This will cause all the values from the
"Value" column in all arrays, to be written to the controller. Array elements that have no value (i.e.
a blank in the "Value" column) will retain their existing values. Once the arrays have been written to
the controller, the "Controller" column will be updated to reflect the new values on the controller.
6. If desired, the Select button can be pressed again and a different controller selected.
7. When the Array Editor dialog is closed and any changes have been made, then the user will be
prompted whether or not to save the changes in a file. Saving the changes will allow the changed
values to be retrieved and reviewed at a later time (by using the Browse button).
