How Communications Work
Configuring Communication 
Before attempting to upload or download a configuration file using PowerTools Pro, the software must be configured to the 
correct communication settings for the intended communication connection. 
The communication connection may be selected in the Upload Drive Configuration, Download to Device IDx or the Change 
Path dialog boxes. From the Device menu, choose Upload DriveDownload or Path Change to open the dialog box or the 
toolbar buttons can also used, see below.
Uploading
Uploading is the process of reading information back from the drive to the PowerTools Pro configuration file views. 
To upload information from a drive, click on the Upload All button, on the PowerTools Pro toolbar or from the 
Device menu, choose Upload All or Upload Drive. The Upload Drive Configuration dialog box will open, all 
communication connections are scanned and the results appear. In Figure 81, it shows that one device on COM 1 
was found, an Epsilon Eb-205 drive. The Upload Drive Configuration dialog box contains the following 
information for every device found:
