PC-Tool User Manual

3 Basic functions

3.1 Program start

After the program is started, a start screen is displayed. Click Start.

Determine the project with which you would like to work. You can either

 open one of th

e last projects listed,

 open an existing project from a file, or

 creat

e a new

project.

The defined

MP-Channel is displayed and opened. A bus scan is started for each MP-Channel.

If only one actuator is connected, it is automatically selected and displayed.

Option If you cancel the project selection, the program will be started without a project. In this case,

only the functions Help, File` New project and File ` Open existing project will be available.

You can also start the program by means of opening a project file: In the Explorer, double-click

a file with the extension .bptpj or on a corresponding file link.

If you create a link to a project file on the desktop, make sure that you do not inadvertently move

or copy the file instead. You can tell when a link has been created correctly by the small arrow in

the bottom left-hand corner of the file icon. (If the project file itself, rather than a link to it, is on

the desktop then all other files will be saved there as well.)

In a network environment, the program should be installed on your workstation and started

locally. Special authorizations are required to start the program on network drives.
