Hello all, I posted the stuff below to the forums, but thought I would ask here as well.
I was playing around with StepConf Wizard last night, looking at what exactly was added to the configuration files when you make selections on the Advanced Configuration page. I have determined the following. To keep it short, when selecting the check box under PyVCP to include connections to HAL seems to produce no new code, but I suspect that is where the line POSTGUI_HALFILE = custom_postgui.hal is added to the [HAL] section of the machine's INI file. Is mu assumption correct on this? Second, when selecting the checkbox for including connections to HAL under the classic ladder section seems to produce no changes in the config files, but again I suspect that this line HALFILE = custom.hal is added to the [HAL] section of the machine's INI file. Is this assumption correct. Also, I noted on a new Stepconf Wizard config, without using PyVCP or HALUI, or Classic Ladder, the same two files are added to the machine's INI file. Now, I understand that custom.hal is where you can put connections for your ladder program and not worry about them being overwritten if you use Stepconf again, and the custom_postgui.hal file exits to create connections after the GUI has been created. So I suppose my question is the following? Are the two above mentioned check boxes meant to perform this function or do they actually do something else? If they are meant to provide this functionality, then they seem unneeded because stepconf will create the entries whether you want them or not. I know it is an obtuse question, but I just want to make sure I understand what is happening behind the scenes.
