Profile-UpLoad-Form-Set64rs

Software_Design_Notes_-_MultiChannel_Set64rs

Profile Log Operation

• DataBase has fields: ProfileName | Start | Stop | ModBusAddress

• all channels in just 1 database > Why?
  • when user juggles units it is best if the unit diaries follow >
    • rather than changing | folder location | file name the main channel database can just change the entries in the database > this applies for everything!

• Can be just another TABLE is the ChannelManagement database??? TableName = ProfileUpLoadLog

Other methods of channel diary management

• having separate folders forces the following:
  • new folder creation when a channel comes into existence
  • deletion when controller removed
  • change when controller moves addresss

Use of mdlProfileArray

• CONCEPT: Use mdlProfileArray as a scratchpad that can then subsequently be
  • uploaded to controller
  • written into the ProgramMemory table of the database

• CompileProfile > uses this array from Index=1
  • will not work with mdlProfileArray as is
  • the array that is used for the compiling purpose has to be by nature a scratchpad > user can move it all around and if shared will cause and overwrite!!!
  • the array that is used for the compiling purpose must be used by the upload routine later > thus it must be persistant
    • Suggestion?: create a different module level array named: mdlCompiledProfileArray

• UploadToController
  • Uses mdlProfileArray to upload to the correct memory locations

• DownLoadProfile
  • Puts downloaded values directly into the ProgramMemory table of the database

• DeleteProfile > erases profile entry in ProfileLog table of the database
