Using ODS for Project
Management
This chapter tells you how to use ODS for project management
activities such as creating a new project, opening an existing project,
and selecting a utility. Other functions of the project management
feature are listed below.
A project is a directory that stores configuration, interface, and
motion control files for a particular control or application. You
cannot access an application until you have selected or created a
project.
The F2-Project menu provides options for creating and managing
project directories. In this chapter you learn how to use the
F2-Project pull-down menu to perform these functions:
