Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) Options for Uploading and Downloading
When Uploading or Downloading, the user may be presented with options on how to handle the values stored in NVM memory. NVM
is a type of memory that does not lose its contents when power is removed. Values in RAM are lost on power down, while values in
NVM are retained. Following is a description of the options the user may encounter while uploading or downloading.
Uploading
When uploading from EZMotion, the values that were last downloaded are uploaded and put into a PowerTools Pro configuration file
(Arrow B in Figure 25). At the completion of the upload, the user will be asked if they wish to upload the NVM values. This dialog box
is shown below.
Figure 28:
By selecting Yes, the values of all parameters stored in NVM will be uploaded and entered into the PowerTools Pro configuration file
values (Arrow H in Figure 25). If No is selected, the values entered into the PowerTools Pro configuration file will remain the same as
those that were last downloaded to EZMotion.
Downloading
When downloading to EZMotion the user will be required to select how to handle the NVM parameters upon downloading. Figure 28
shows the dialog box asking the user to select one of three options for the download.
Figure 29:
A description of each of the options is as follows:
Overwrite
This option will overwrite all the parameters stored in NVM with the current values in the user configuration (Just Arrow A in Figure
25). The values that are in NVM prior to the download will be lost.
Update
This option will upload the current NVM parameter values from EZMotion and enter them into the user configuration. Once the NVM
values have been stored in the file, the file is fully downloaded (First Arrow H followed by Arrow A in Figure 25. Data from H is saved
in PowerTools Pro configuration).
Keep
This option will download the entire user configuration, but then NVM parameters will be restored to the value prior to download. This
is similar to the Update option, but the Keep option does not upload the NVM values into the user configuration (First Arrow H
followed by Arrow A, but data from H is not stored in PowerTools Pro file).
