In addition to creating and opening databases on the PC’s local drive, modifications may be made
to any AMPS-24 that is directly connected to the PC with the PK-PPS programming utility. When
PK-PPS is open and the PC is connected via the USB to a power supply, that power supply is
represented by the icon in the left window. Click on this icon to see the power supply’s current
configuration and version information.
Right-clicking on the AMPS-24 icon provides three work options:
SAVE Select this option to save the power supply’s current configuration as a database file
(*.pdb) on the PC’s local drive.
MODIFY Select this option to edit the power supply’s current configuration. When all changes
are made, the new database will overwrite the one in the AMPS-24. The new database can also
be saved to the local drive.
DOWNLOAD Select this option to download a database, application, or bootloader file to the
power supply. See Section 3.2.5.
