jrbuono Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 We are in the development stages and trying to leave all configuration settings the same, minus one motor. Basically, we want to only change the setup parameters for Motor#3. Questions: 1) We have a full .tar backup which captures the motor#3 configuration we are looking for. Can we load only motor#3 parameters using the .tar? 2) Does #1 require locating a specific file from .tar and loading the system configuration? If so, where is the file located?

Sina.Sattari Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 jrbuono, 1) You won't be able to perform a partial restore. At least not through the Power PMAC IDE. 2) All the data registers are saved in a file under /Project/Configuration/pp_save.cfg You can extract the parameters related to motor #3 and download them separately to the Power PMAC from a separate Project. Just remember that only Motor[3].XXX settings are not enough and you have to download related settings such as hardware and ECT settings related to that motor as well.

coles55 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Sina, We have noticed that when we do a restore, the motor setup parameters does not get restored. We understand that we can save those parameters using the 'Save Configuration to File' in the 'Setup Variables' but shouldn't backup/restore also retain those values as well? Thanks, Lei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
