6-2 Configuration and Characterization

6.4 ECXP Configuration

6.4.1 ECW.INI File

When ECXP is installed, the ECW.INI file is created. This file contains settings for your system

hardware. The first time ECXP is run, a setup procedure runs, asking you what hardware you have and

how it is configured. Responses to each question are written into the ECW.INI file. All other settings are

performed from the

Configure menu on the Edit screen described in 6.4.2 ECXP Reconfiguration. For

more detailed information, refer to the Easy Coat User Guide or Online Help.

 NOTE In most cases, ECXP arrives already installed and configured for your coating system

from the Asymtek factory.

6.4.1.1 Backup

Backup of the ECW.INI file is automatic. Each time the file is edited, the previous version is saved as

ECWyearmonthdayhourminutesecond.ini. To prevent losing your configuration once you have ECXP set

up, you can copy the ECW.INI configuration file to a CD, USB drive, or to another folder on your hard

drive. You should do this every time you make a change to your configuration. You can rename the

configuration files to distinguish one from another, but before you restore the file you must rename it as

ECW.INI.

To back up your configuration, click on

Help > Copy Configuration To Disk. ECXP looks for a disk in

the A drive. If one is present and has enough room on it, copying takes place automatically. If there is no

disk in the drive, you will be prompted to insert a disk. Insert a disk or click

Cancel to select a folder on

the hard drive, a CD, or USB Drive. Click

Save.

WARNING! Do not edit the ECW.INI file unless it is absolutely necessary and you have been

trained to do so. An error in this file can cause your system to run erratically, or

not at all. Contact your Asymtek representative before editing this file.

6.4.2 ECXP Reconfiguration

If you change system hardware, such as the tool, conveyor, inverter, or scanner you can rerun the ECXP

setup procedure with the Reconfigure feature. The changes are written to the ECW.INI file.
