8.2.8 Save .ddf Values Button
Once the user has entered the data for the motor they are using, they may or may not wish to save the motor data to the
SPMotor.ddf file so it can be easily recalled at a later time. If the user does not save the motor data to the SPMotor.ddf file,
then the motor data will only reside in the specific application configuration file that it has been entered into.
In order to save the motor data to the SPMotor.ddf file, the user simply clicks on Save .ddf Values on the Motor Tab. Doing so
will take all the parameter values and write them to the SPMotor.ddf file automatically.
When saving to the .ddf file, if PowerTools Pro finds that a motor already exists with the same name, the User Defined Motor
Name Conflict dialog box shown in Figure 62 will appear. The user must then decide how to proceed with saving the motor
data .ddf file.
