        Module: AOM 4010 and ASM 4020
        Title: AOM/ASM Parameter Edit Screen Philosophy
	**********************************************************************

	This document is intended to minimize confusion on the AOM 4010 and
	 ASM 4020/10 parameter edit screens.


	1)	Match Configurations

		a) Verify that the Port Mode for each individual port (on
		  the AOM Tune screen) matches the corresponding jumper
		  settings on the AOM card before parameters are entered:

		  ex. Port 7: bipolar Port Mode -->
			    bipolar +/-10V or +/-5V module jumpers on port 7


	2)	The AOM Tune Screen

		a) When first accessed, all parameters are at their default
		  positions (unless a previous configuration was saved to the
		  hard drive).  Downloading the default configuration (from
		  the AOM Online screen) resets all saved information in the
		  flash memory on the AOM.

		b) When the 'Enable' box is checked (polling is now enabled), 
		  once values are entered in parameter cells and 'Enter' is
		  hit or another cell is clicked, that new value is 
		  automatically stored in the AOM's RAM.  This information 
		  is volatile; once the power is turned off, the AOM is reset,
		  the RAM information will be gone, all new parameter information
		  will not be on the hard drive, will not be in the AOM flash,
 		  and the original settings will be displayed.

		c) If parameter values are changed and the 'Apply' button
		  or 'OK' button is clicked, again the new information is 
		  stored in RAM, but the changes are now also stored on the
		  hard drive.  If the AOM is reset, etc., when the screen
		  is accessed, the previous changes will still be there
		  on the hard drive, shown on the screen.  The RAM will not
		  match the hard drive parameters.

		d)  If the parameter values are edited, and the changes
		  need to be saved to the AOM's flash memory, click 'Apply',
		  goto the AOM Online screen, then download and verify the 
		  new configuration.

	3)	Reading and Editing the AOM's Saved Parameters

		a) When the AOM is energized, the flash memory loads the
		  parameter configuration into volatile RAM.

		b) From the AOM Tune screen, checking 'enable' and then
		  clicking 'Read RAM' will display the AOM's configuration.
		  From there, parameters can be edited, but will not be
		  saved to flash until the modified configuration is first
		  "applied" to the hard drive, then downloaded and verified.


	----------------------------------------------------------------------

	    'Apply' or 'OK' --> saves screen config. to hard drive

	    cell changes only --> saves to AOM RAM

	    download and verify --> saves to AOM flash memory (after apply)
