INFORMATION
• The "online" communication mode is NOT a response message which informs you
that you are currently connected to the unit or that your unit is ready for communi-
cation. Should you require this feedback, observe section "Setting the cyclical ac-
cessibility test" in the online help (or the manual) of MOVITOOLS
®
MotionStudio.
• Project management commands (such as "download" and "upload"), the online
unit status, and the "unit scan" work independent of the set communication mode.
• MOVITOOLS

MotionStudio starts up in the communication mode that you set be-
fore you closed down.
