38 ACR Programmer's Guide
Connection
These tools allow the user to rename the controller, add another controller to
the project, delete a controller, connect to a controller or disconnect from a
controller. The Connect screen also provides useful information about the
controller, such as firmware level and model number.
Configuration Wizard
This wizard is a comprehensive start-to-finish configuration tool that sets up axis
names, motor data, engineering units, I/O configuration, default move
characteristics and more.
Program Editor
The various program editors are where programs are written.
The Defines editor is a tabular editor where a user can set up named aliases
(known as "defines") for commonly used parameters. PMM's Defines editor
provides a user-friendly experience by checking user input for validity.
Terminal Emulator
This is one of the most useful tools in PMM and will receive detailed coverage
later. The Terminal Emulator is used to send ASCII commands directly to the
controller.
