8.2 Main Menu window
When you click on one of these five icons, ETT launches subprograms called tools and opens new windows.
If you put the pointer on an icon, a short tool's description appears at the bottom under Explanations:
The 'Drive Setting' tool is used first, to quickly tune the controller's parameters and to
automaticallyset the system's safeties. The user needs only to follow a step-by-step process
by answering the questions asked by the 'Drive Setting'.
The 'Scope' tool is used after the 'Drive Setting' tool, to accurately tune the controller's
parameters. The controller's main registers are accessible and a graphical 2-channels
oscilloscope allows the monitoring of the system's performance (position reference, real
position, speed, current, ...).
The 'Terminal' tool is used to directly send commands to a controller or a group of drives. The
’Terminal' reacts to these commands and indicates if the last command has been
acknowledged by the controller(s) or not, and displays the result(s).
The 'Editor' tool is used to write a sequence for a controller. It includes all classical features of
a basic text processing tool and an automatic syntax coloring system. The sequence should be
saved later with the .SEQ extension for a proper handling by all the other tools.
The 'Unit Converter' tool is used to convert position, speed and acceleration values from ISO
units into controller increments units. The reverse conversion is also possible. To use the 'Unit
Converter', the ETT communication with a drive has to be established.
