Following is a description of each of the preference settings:
Download Group
Ignore saving file on Ptools/Drive revision conversion
On a download PowerTools Pro first checks the revision of the EZMotion firmware before downloading the configuration. If the
firmware in the module is older than the matching software revision, PowerTools Pro then converts the user configuration to match
the firmware revision in the module. Because certain parameters may need to be changed to match the firmware revision,
PowerTools asks the user if they wish to save the file before it is converted. If the user wishes to download without saving every time,
and therefore avoid being asked on every download, this check box should be selected.
Overwrite - Reset the NVM configuration
When this radio button is selected the "Overwrite" option will be used on every download to the module. For more details on how the
Overwrite option works, see the Download NVM Options above.
NOTE
It is required to Overwrite the Non-Volatile Memory on the first download to the module since no Non-Volatile Memory parameters
have been loaded into the drive on initial startup.
Update - Upload the values into the current Update PowerTools Pro configuration
When this radio button is selected the "Update" option will be used on every download to the module. For more details on how the
Update option works, see the Download NVM Options above.
Keep - Remember the values and restore them after the download
When this radio button is selected the "Keep" option will be used on every download to the module. For more details on how the
Keep option works, see the Download NVM Options above.
Ask on each download
When this radio button is selected, the user will be prompted on every download to select either the Overwrite, Update, or Keep
option. This is the default preference setting.
Upload Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) Group
Always upload NVM
When uploading a configuration, PowerTools Pro uploads from a Non-User NVM location, so the data uploaded only matches
exactly what was last downloaded. If any parameters in the Save to NVM list have changed since the last download, those new
values would not be uploaded. By selecting this radio button, the parameter values in the Save to NVM list will be uploaded into the
PowerTools Pro configuration after the normal upload.
Always bypass NVM upload
When uploading a configuration, PowerTools Pro uploads from a Non-User NVM location, so the data uploaded only matches
exactly what was last downloaded. By selecting this radio button, the parameter values in the Save to NVM list will NOT be
uploaded.
Ask on each upload
When this radio button is selected, PowerTools Pro will ask the user via a pop-up window whether to upload the NVM or to bypass
the NVM upload on every upload.
5.4.6 Secure Downloading
The Secure Download feature allows the user to download a configuration that prevents anyone from uploading the file, or going
online with the system. This is used to protect a file from being accessed by unauthorized personnel. If a secure file is downloaded
