Since the software will always use the currently loaded board setup’s library
as the starting point of a new board’s library. You must always remember to
load the latest board setup before doing File ,New Board Setup to create the
board setup for a new board. This is not always practical especially if you
have more than one person programming the machine. You can get around
the problem by development the habit of always saving the board you just
trained as e.g. LastBoard.bsu. And whenever you need to trained a board you
would always load LastBoard.bsu before you do File, New Board Setup. This
way you ensure all the new board setup inherent the latest library.
Each copy of the local library get progressive bigger each time a new board is
trained. The library of a board may contain many Devices not use on that
board but inherited from the previous boards. As the library gets big, those
Devices could take up significant hard disk space. From the library menu,
Delete Unused Devices launches a function to scan the local library and
delete any Device that is not used by the board and delete them.
How The Central Library Work?
Unlike the local library that COPY itself each time a new board is trained, the
central library simply refer to the library used by the current board. All the
boards use the same library (no copies). This library will grow bigger and
bigger when more Devices from different boards are trained.
You must be careful deleting Devices from the central library, such deletion
could affect many boards. You will almost NEVER use the library menu
selection, Delete All Devices, because it will delete the entire central library.
How to Start Using the Central Library?
Since the local library is the default, you must create you central library before
you can direct the new trainings to use that library. To create the central
library load the latest board setup, and do a File, Save Board Setup As,
given it a name such as Central Lib. This way Central Lib.bsu and sub
directory will be created. Then in the library menu select Library Setup, the
following dialog will display.
