Select Defaults
The Select Defaults button adds the most commonly used parameters to the Watch Window.
Select I/O
The Select I/O button will add the Drive and Module digital inputs and outputs to the Watch Window.
Close
The Close button will close the Select Drive Parameters window, while the Watch Window will remain open.
Help
The help button will give associated help on the Watch Window setup.
User Level
The User Level setting is a filter for the parameters that are seen in the Select Drive Parameters list. If set to Easy, the
parameters used in most basic applications will be seen while the more advanced parameters are hidden. If set to Detailed,
the parameters used in more advanced applications will be added to the list. If set to Too Much, then all parameters available
in the system will be seen in the list. This allows the user to select the User Level they are most comfortable with to avoid
confusion. If a parameter has been selected and the User Level is changed, then the selected parameter will remain selected.
Group
The Group setting allows the user to filter the parameters that are displayed in the Select Drive Parameters window by group.
The Group defaults to "ALL" so that parameters from all groups are seen. If the user wishes to only see those parameters
from a specific group, the click on the Group list box and select the group of parameters they wish to see.
Global Where Am I Button
The Program View, when online and executing a program or sequence of programs, can display current program status.
Pressing the Where Am I button on the PowerTools Pro toolbar creates a blue triangle that appears on the line of the program
currently being executed.
The Global Where Am I can be used for diagnostics. When the user needs to know where in a complicated program the drive
is or when the user wishes to follow the logical flow of the program.
Motion Status
While the drive is online, the name of the program currently running or the motion type currently running will appear in the
status bar at the bottom left corner of the PowerTools Pro window.
