Enable Packed Bits Control and Status Words
In order to use the Pack Bits Control Word and Status Word mapping, the function must be enabled by activating the Enable Packed
Bits Control and Status Words check box. If the check box is unchecked, the view remains blank (default). If the check box is
checked, then the mapping tree appears which allows the user to configure the Status Word(s) as desired. This check box enables
both Control Words AND Status Words, and the two cannot be enabled/disabled independently.
Number of Status Words
The user can specify the number of desired 16-bit Status Words for the application. This parameter is adjustable using the spinner
control from 1 to 4 words (1 default). The Number of Status Words cannot be adjusted while online with the device. If online, the user
must disconnect communications and then adjust the number of status words.
Status Word Setup Tab
The Status Word Setup Tab is used to map the desired bit-level parameters onto the existing status word(s). The method for
mapping parameters to the Status Word(s) is the same as for the Control Words. See the Drag and Drop and Add Button methods
described in the Control Words section above.
To delete parameters from the Status Word, simply drag and drop the parameter off the status word (see explanation above), or
highlight the desired parameter to delete, and click the Delete button on the right side of the view.
NOTE
Parameters can be mapped while online, but cannot be sent to the drive using the Update to RAM function. Therefore, any changes
to Status Word mapping requires a full download.
Online Status Tab (Available Online Only)
