Path Programs
A path program is a collection of individual path segments that make up a dispense
program. Path programs are made up of any combination of programming functions. Each
path program can have a unique name of 12 characters or less. The path program name is
shown on the operator interface while the path runs.
Project Files
PathMaster® project files can contain up to 30 individual path programs. A downloaded
project file has all 30 storage areas, even if some are empty. Empty areas will do nothing if
selected to run.

Save for Part Manager
When you select Save or Save As, the current project is saved and exported to a folder
hierarchy on the hard drive. The default location for the folder is in the ‘PathMaster.ini’ file.
PathMaster® can be configured to prompt the user for the folder location.
Example Save (for part manager) folder hierarchy: Project name: MyProject
• Select File -> Save or File-> Save As
A folder called MyProject (Project name) is created in the default project file output
location (C:\Program Files\PVA\PathMaster\Projects). In the MyProjects Folder, 30
individual files are created, one for each program in the project. The files names of the 30
program match the program name. If the program name contains characters that are not
allowed in file names, the character is replaced with the character ‘@’.

INI Settings for ‘Save For Part Manager’
• Default folder location for Save For Part Manager: ProjectFileOutput=C:\Program

CAUTION: The Path specified in the ‘[General]’ section of the ‘PathMaster.ini’ file with the
‘ProjectFileOutput’ key is for PathMaster® use only. This folder is an extension of the
PathMaster® database, for use with PVAPortal’s dependency, PartManager. Any external
data written to this folder or its children will be overwritten by PathMaster®!
