5.3 Programming Control Module Response
TheParameterSetupFile(PSF)Configurationroutine(seeFigure5-9)isusedto
configurethecontrolmoduleforaspecificapplication.AccessthePSFConfiguration
screen(afterperformingthePingroutinetoselectacontrolmodule,section5.1.1)by
selectingEdit PSF (F4)fromtheMINI-ARRAYmenu.TheEditPSFprocessmayalso
beperformedwithnocontrolmoduleselected,toconfigureandsaveaPSFfor
multiplecontrolmodules.Insuchacase,somefieldsonthePSFConfigurationscreen
willnotbeaccessible.
Theprocessofconfiguringthecontrolmoduleinvolvesselectingamongoptionsfor
eachoftheparameterslistedinthissection,includingserialcommunication,control
mode,scanningmethod,scananalysismode,serialtransmission,andanalog/discrete
outputs.Theresultingcombinationofoptionscausesthecontrolmoduletoreactas
requiredfortheapplication,tochangesinthelightscreen.
TheconfigurationprocessproducesaParameterSetupFile(PSF).PSFfilesmaybe
savedandretrievedascomputerfilesviatheFile Save PSFandFile Retrieve PSF
commands(seesection5.4.5).Onceconfigured,aPSFmaybesenttothecontrol
moduleviatheSend PSFcommand.Likewise,thePSFcurrentlyloadedintothe
controlmodulemaybedisplayedbyusingtheUpload PSFcommand.
