Managing Spec Files
This program helps you manage your Cyflex spec files.
Use this to keep track of which spec files you are using.
This also gives you access to adding, removing or editing these files.
In some cases there will be only one master spec file. This would
be the case for a test cell which always runs one type of test.
However a test cell which runs many different types of tests might have
a master spec file for each test type.
When the program is running you have a tree of information
displayed.
Expand or contract tree nodes as you would a tree in a file browser.
The nodes displayed come in three types.
- Functional names - for example Process Input. These are for
organizational purposes only. They do not supply any program
functionality.
- Spec file types - for example Digital Output. These are
types of spec files that are managed by this program.
- Specific spec files - for example my_specfile.ao. These are
specific spec files that are managed by this program.
To perform an operation, click on an item in the tree.
Each type of item offers different capabilities once it has been
selected.
- Functional names do not provide any functionality.
- Spec file types may be double-clicked to create a new, empty
spec file if the type selected.
Right-clicking will display a popup menu allowing you to create
a new spec file of this type or to add an existing specfile of this
type to those being managed.
- Specific spec files may be double-clicked to edit the selected
spec file. Right-clicking will display a popup menu allows you to
edit, remove or enable/disable this specific file.
