PG5 2.1 program Examples

Introduction

In many cases an example explains more than an elaborate manual. The examples in this section of the support site are written with the aim to provide a fast and efficient way to show the functionality of a specific feature of the Saia PCD® systems. The examples are created with the experience made during workshops and shall respond to questions that come up in the daily support business. The documentation that comes with the example (have a look in the "Documentation" folder of the PG5 projects) indicates important points to be considered.

Structure of the examples

The general structure of the examples always contains the following key parts:

  • a functional PG5 project
  • the definition of the required hard- and software
  • an explanation for a fast commissioning of the example
  • an explanation of the specific parts of the program / project

Installation / Restoring an example

For the installation of the project on your PC, first download the ZIP file and then restore the project using the "Restore..." function of the PG5 Project Manager menu "Project".
