In the Profile Editor, you can add, delete or edit steps or profiles ( Tools > F4 Profile Editor).
Using the editor, you create sets of profiles, called profile images,
for specific controller configurations. A profile image is the entire set
of profiles and steps that may be stored in a Series F4 at one time. A
profile image may include as many as 40 different profiles and a
total of 256 steps. You can create and save as many of these profile
images as your computer can store. You can load any one of these
profile images into a Series F4 and then run the profiles using the
controller’s front panel or the F4 Profile Control program. Only one
image file at a time may be stored in a Series F4 controller.
Note
Loading an image file into a Series F4 overwrites any profiles that were previous-
ly loaded, so be careful to save any profiles you might want to reuse on a com-
puter disk or hard drive.
The range of settings available in a profile depends on the con-
troller’s hardware and configuration. To avoid having out-of-range
values in a profile, the controller automatically deletes profiles
whenever you change a Setup Page parameter. Therefore, it is very
important to set up the analog and digital I/O before you create pro-
file images. You can set up the I/O parameters through the Series F4
controller’s front panel or using WatView.
