Using Profiles
When to Use Before you perform a spin you need to choose a profile.
You have the following options:
❑ If there is a profile already selected, verify that the Profiles page has
the settings you need for your particular application.
❑ If you want to select a different profile than the one you already have
open, close the current profile and open a new one.
❑ If there are no profiles, or none of the existing profiles meet your
needs, you need to add one. See “Checking the Current Profile” on
page 49.
To delete, copy, or rename a profile, see “Creating and Managing
Profiles” on page 37.
For general information about profiles, see “About Profiles” on page 12.

Current Profile
If a VSpin profile is open, the name of the profile is displayed in the
upper left corner of the Control, Profiles and Diagnostics pages.
In the following example from the Control page, a profile named 507873
is in use.
From the Control page, you can open and close profiles.

Control page.
The
Select Profile dialog box opens.
2. Select a profile from the list box and click OK.
The profile opens and updates your settings.
