Chapter 1: Windows Registry and Registry Editor
Chapter 1: Windows Registry and Registry Editor
1.1 What is the Windows Registry?

The Windows registry is a database repository for information about a computer’s configuration. The registry
contains information that Windows continually references during operation, such as:
• Profiles for each user.
• The programs installed on the computer and the types of documents each can create.
• Property settings for folders and program icons.
• What hardware exists on the system.
• Which ports are being used.
The registry is organized hierarchically as a tree and is made up of keys and their subkeys, hives, and value entries.
1.2 What is the Registry Editor?

The Registry Editor is an advanced tool (included with your Windows operating system) for viewing, changing,
inspecting and modifying settings in your system registry.
You may use the Registry Editor to export registry settings, import registry settings, or to set all ServoWorks CNC
or SMP parameters back to their default settings, as described in subsequent chapters of this manual.
! CAUTION
Do not use the Registry Editor to make any changes to Windows registry entries.
Only use the Registry Editor to import or export registry folders. Follow the
procedures in this manual very carefully.
INCORRECTLY EDITING THE REGISTRY MAY SEVERELY

DAMAGE YOUR SYSTEM.

Chapter 2: ServoWorks CNC and SMP Registry Data
2.1 Overview
This information is only provided for SDK (ServoWorks Development Kit) and MDK (Motion Development Kit)
users, who will need to use the Windows registry for their customized programs. Many registry entries are in binary
and hexadecimal format, and their values are not readily apparent when viewed in the Windows Registry Editor.
! CAUTION
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD REGISTRY ENTRIES BE
MODIFIED DIRECTLY.
All parameters should be modified by using a ServoWorks CNC or SMP application

(Configure Mode or Configuration Mode in ServoWorks CNC products, and the
Parameters window in the SMP Console and ServoWorks MotionLite) to change
parameter values, which in turn updates the registry automatically.
If you are not developing a customized ServoWorks CNC or SMP application, you should skip this chapter.
2.2 Default Registry Paths

Data for ServoWorks CNC and SMP products, including LadderWorks PLC, is stored in two different predefined
keys: the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT folder and the HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder. Within the
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT folder, there are two different keys: the “ServoWorks” key and the “SNK” key.
The default registry path for all ServoWorks CNC and SMP products is:
My Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ServoWorks
The default registry paths for all LadderWorks PLC parameters are:
My Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SNK
My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SNK\SNK_PLC
2.3 Registry Data in the “HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ServoWorks” Key
2.3.1 Folder Structure of the “HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ServoWorks” Key
The structure of the “ServoWorks” key in the registry varies somewhat depending upon which ServoWorks CNC or
SMP product is installed. For customized ServoWorks CNC or SMP products created with the ServoWorks
Development Kit (SDK) or the Motion Development Kit (MDK), the application developer determines some of the
structure. For off-the-shelf ServoWorks CNC or SMP products, there are three types of folders for registry entries
for ServoWorks CNC and SMP Products:
_____________________________________________________________________________________
2-1
1) GMC
This folder is used to store all system parameters, including those created and updated by SDK or MDK
APIs (SWAPI or MAPI) through the SwDll.dll file (a dynamic link library containing code and data for
ServoWorks CNC and SMP products – it provides the interface between the ServoWorks CNC/SMP
applications in the Win32 subspace and the CNC Engine or SMP Motion Engine in the real-time subspace).
System parameters included in this folder are divided into four subfolders:
a) ABS_Encoder
b) NC_Param
c) Servo_Control_Param
d) Servo_Drive_Param
! CAUTION
The format of this “GMC” folder is predetermined and SHOULD NOT BE
CHANGED. We strongly caution against manually modifying this folder in any way.
2) Windows HMI Applications
These folders store program data (such as Windows HMI-related data or user-defined program parameters)
for ServoWorks CNC and SMP applications. These registry entries are created and updated by Windows
APIs in HMI or Windows applications.
Each folder is named for the Windows HMI application it was created by (i.e. “S100M,” “S120M” or
“S140M,” for the ServoWorks S-100M series; “MC_QUAD” for ServoWorks MC-Quad; “Lathe” for
ServoWorks S-100T; or “SMP” for the SMP Console). NOTE: SDK and MDK users must create the path,
the format and the data to be saved for each customized ServoWorks CNC or SMP application they create.
For example, ServoWorks S-100M creates and maintains an “S100M” folder, for example, in
“My Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ServoWorks\S100M” – sub folders include:
a) ATC
b) AxisName
c) Color
d) Display
e) MacroVar
f) PitchErr
g) Plot
h) ToolOffset
i) WorkpieceOffset
_____________________________________________________________________________________
2-2
3) Products
This folder is used to store the product version and the license code, and is created and updated by the
ServoWorks CNC or SMP installer.
A screen shot of the “ServoWorks” key in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT folder (showing multiple ServoWorks
CNC and SMP installations) follows:

Chapter 3: APIs for Interacting with the Registry
Please refer to our API manuals (either the ServoWorks API (SWAPI) Reference Manual for C/C++ and Visual
Basic or the SMP Motion and Logic API (MAPI) Reference Manual for C/C++ and Visual Basic) for the details of
the following registry-related APIs:
• sssLoadParameters (loads parameter settings from registry or the initialization files and feeds the data into
parameter structures)
• sssSaveParameters (saves parameter settings to the system registry or initialization files from the structures)
• sssLoadAbsEncParameters (loads absolute encoder parameters from file or Windows registry and sends it
to the Real-Time Engines. These parameters include information on whether the absolute encoder homing
has ever been performed, and the absolute encoder home location.)
• sssSaveAbsEncParameters (Gets the absolute encoder parameters from the Real-Time Engines, and saves
them to file or to the Windows registry. These parameters include information on whether the absolute
encoder homing has ever been performed, and the absolute encoder home location.)

Chapter 4: Backing Up and Restoring Registry Data
4.1 Uses for Backing Up and Restoring Registry Data

All current software settings are contained in the Windows registry. Therefore, when you have completed your
installation, setup and integration for any ServoWorks CNC or SMP product (especially the important process of
tuning your system), we highly recommend that you back up the GMC and Windows application folders in the
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ServoWorks key of the Windows registry. This will save you time and money if you
need to recreate your optimized software environment for any reason. This is also useful for creating an identical
control system with a new PC.
To back up your current parameter settings, you must export two folders to two Windows files (as explained in
Section 4.2: Exporting Current Parameter Settings to Windows Files). [We recommend saving these files
somewhere other than your PC.]
To restore a set of parameters, you can import your desired parameter settings from these two Windows files (as
explained in Section 4.3: Importing Registry Settings to a PC from Windows Files).
You can also use your registry data files for quickly accessing parameter information, such as your password to
access Configure Mode (or Configuration Mode). Open a saved .reg file with any text editor (such as Notepad), and
you can search for "password" to get your password setting.
4.2 Exporting Current Parameter Settings to Windows Files

The following steps will guide you in saving your current parameter settings to two files:
1) From the Windows “Start” menu, go to “Run…” as shown:
Figure 4-1: Start Menu Selection Showing “Run…”
2) You will see the “Run” window appear, as shown:
_____________________________________________________________________________________
4-1
Figure 4-2: Run Window
3) Type in “regedit” as shown, and then click the “OK” button. You will see the “Registry Editor” application
appear, as shown:
Figure 4-3: Main Registry Editor Window
4) Click on the symbol next to "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT"to see the drop-down list under
“HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.” Then, with "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" selected, scroll all the way down to
the key named "ServoWorks" (as shown in the following window):
Figure 4-4: Registry Editor Window with “ServoWorks” Selected
_____________________________________________________________________________________
4-2
5) Click on the symbol next to "ServoWorks" to see the drop-down list under “ServoWorks.” Then click on
the “GMC” key (as shown in the following window):
Figure 4-5: Registry Editor Window with “GMC” Selected
6) Select "Export" from the "File" pull-down menu, as shown in the following figure:
Figure 4-6: Registry Editor Window – File Pull Down Menu
7) You will see an Export Registry File window appear, as shown in the following figure:
_____________________________________________________________________________________
4-3
Figure 4-7: Export Registry File Window (1 of 2)
8) Note that the export range for the selected branch shows “HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ServoWorks\GMC” –
your location in the registry before you selected “Export.” Browse to the folder where you want to save
this registry settings file, set an arbitrary name for this file (or click on an existing file to overwrite), and
click the "OK" button. This .reg file will contain the current GMC parameter settings.
9) Now click on the relevant Windows application folder in the “ServoWorks” key:
• If you are using ServoWorks S-100M, select the “S100M” folder.
• If you are using ServoWorks MC-Quad, select the “MC_QUAD” folder.
• If you are using ServoWorks S-100T, select the “Lathe” folder.
• If you are using an SMP product, select the “SMP” folder, as shown in the following window:
_____________________________________________________________________________________
4-4
Figure 4-8: Registry Editor Window with “SMP” Selected
10) Select "Export" from the "File" pull-down menu, as shown in Figure 4-6.
11) You will see an Export Registry File window appear, as shown in the following figure:
Figure 4-9: Export Registry File Window (2 of 2)
_____________________________________________________________________________________
4-5
12) Note that the export range for the selected branch shows “HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ServoWorks\SMP” in
this example – your location in the registry before you selected “Export.” Browse to the folder where you
want to save this registry settings file, set an arbitrary name for this file (or click on an existing file to
overwrite), and click the "OK" button. This .reg file will contain the current Windows application
parameter settings.
Your registry settings are now backed up.
NOTE: In addition to backing up individual sub-keys such as the “GMC” and Windows application keys, you can
back up the entire “ServoWorks” key. However, this is not recommended if you are planning to import those
settings to another computer, because your ServoWorks CNC or SMP license information (contained in the
“Products” key) will be overwritten, and you will have to reregister your ServoWorks CNC or SMP product.
4.3 Importing Registry Settings to a PC from Windows Files

The following steps will guide you in importing a set of registry settings to a PC (either the same PC from which the
registry settings were backed up, or a different PC). You must first have saved your desired parameter settings to
one or more files, as shown in the previous section, Section 4.2 Exporting Current Parameter Settings to Windows
Files.
NOTE: If you are backing up the entire “ServoWorks” key from HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (not recommended),
make a note of your ServoWorks CNC or SMP license code before beginning this procedure, as your license code
for your ServoWorks CNC or SMP product will be overwritten, and you will be required to reregister your
ServoWorks CNC or SMP product.
1) Copy the .reg file(s) with the desired registry settings to the target PC, in a location of your choice.
2) From the Windows “Start” menu, go to “Run…” as shown in Figure 4-1.
3) You will see the “Run” window appear, as shown in Figure 4-2.
appear, as shown in Figure 4-3.
5) Click on the symbol next to"HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" to see the drop-down list under
“HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.” Then, with "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" selected, scroll all the way down
and select (click on) the key you are importing (i.e. “GMC,” “SMP,” “ServoWorks,” etc).
6) Select "Import" from the "File" pull-down menu, as shown in the following figure:
_____________________________________________________________________________________
4-6
Figure 4-10: Registry Editor Window – File Pull Down Menu
7) You will see an Import Registry File window appear, as shown in the following figure:
Figure 4-11: Import Registry File Window
8) Select the file with your parameter settings (you can only select one file at a time), then click the "OK"
button. You will see a window similar to the following appear:
Figure 4-12: Registry Editor Dialog Box – Importing Success Message
_____________________________________________________________________________________
4-7
9) To import a second registry file, select "Import" from the "File" pull-down menu again, as shown in Figure
4-10. You will see the Import Registry File window appear again, as shown in Figure 4-11.
10) Select the second file with your parameter settings (you can only select one file at a time), then click the
"OK" button. You should see a message telling you the file was successfully entered into the registry,
similar to Figure 4-12.
To back up more than two registry files, keep repeating steps 9 and 10.
NOTE: If you are trying to create an identical control system with the same PC environment, you should first install
and register your ServoWorks CNC or SMP product, then import registry settings to overwrite the default settings.
If you import a registry file containing settings for the entire “ServoWorks” key, you will need to reregister your
product, as your license code will be overwritten. [Click on the "Registration" button in the ServoWorks CNC or
SMP installer and input your license code again.] To avoid this problem, instead of importing a registry file
containing settings for the entire “ServoWorks” key, import separate registry files for “GMC” and the relevant
Windows application folder under the “ServoWorks” key.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Chapter 5: Setting All Parameter Settings Back to the Default Settings
You can change the current parameter settings for a ServoWorks CNC or SMP product back to the default parameter
settings with the following steps:
1) From the Windows “Start” menu, go to “Run…” as shown:
Figure 5-1: Start Menu Selection Showing “Run…”
2) You will see the “Run” window appear, as shown:
Figure 5-2: Run Window
appear, as shown:
_____________________________________________________________________________________
5-1
Figure 5-3: Main Registry Editor Window
4) Click on the symbol next to "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" to see the drop-down list under
“HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.” Then, with "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" selected, scroll all the way down to
the key named "ServoWorks" (as shown in the following window):
Figure 5-4: Registry Editor Window with “ServoWorks” Selected
5) Click on the symbol next to "ServoWorks" to see the drop-down list under “ServoWorks.” Then, select
(click on) the key named "GMC" (as shown in the following window):
_____________________________________________________________________________________
5-2
Figure 5-5: Registry Editor Window with “GMC” Selected
6) Delete the "GMC" key by pressing the “delete” key on your keyboard, or by selecting “Delete” from the
“Edit” pull-down menu, as shown:
Figure 5-6: Registry Editor Window – Edit Pull Down Menu
7) You will see the following “Confirm Key Delete” button appear.
Figure 5-7: Confirm Delete Key Dialog Box
8) Click the “Yes” button to finalize the deletion of the “GMC” registry key.
9) Now click on the relevant Windows application folder:
_____________________________________________________________________________________
5-3
• If you are using ServoWorks MC-Quad, select the “MC_QUAD” folder.
• If you are using ServoWorks S-100T, select the “Lathe” folder.
• If you are using an SMP product, select the “SMP” folder, as shown in the following window:
Figure 5-8: Registry Editor Window with “SMP” Selected
10) Delete the selected key by pressing the “delete” key on your keyboard, or by selecting “Delete” from the
“Edit” pull-down menu, as shown in Figure 5-6. You will see the “Confirm Key Delete” button appear as
shown in Figure 5-7. Click the “Yes” button to finalize the deletion of the selected registry key.
11) The next time when you run your ServoWorks CNC or SMP application, the default settings will be
restored automatically.
NOTE: In addition to deleting the GMC and Windows application folder subkeys, you can delete the entire
“ServoWorks” key. You will, however, need to reregister your ServoWorks CNC or SMP application, as you will
be deleting the “Products” key with your license code.
