Understand-
ing Parame-
ter Types
Most HSD/HSE6800
+
parameters are adjustable, and can be set using either
card-edge controls (see
Understanding Jumper Controls
on page 16) or a
software application. However, there are some parameters that are considered
“read-only” and cannot be changed. Indicated by the abbreviation “
[RO]
,” these
parameters provide status and feedback information only.
Adjustable
Parameters
Two types of adjustable parameters can be changed using the card-edge controls:
Numerical
parameters—which require you to select a value within a numerical
range
Selectable
parameters—which require you to select a specific option
Both numerical and selectable parameter changes are immediate.
Use the available 6800
+
software controls (serial/local or Ethernet/remote
network) to view and monitor parameter selections.
Read-Only
Parameters
Many of the read-only parameters are also represented by LEDs on the front of the
module’s card edge. See
Figure 1-1
on page 3 and
Figure 1-2
on page 3 for the
location of these LEDs.
Operating
Notes
When setting the control parameters on the HSD/HSE6800
+
, observe the
following:
When you change a parameter, the effect is immediate. However, the module
requires up to 20 seconds to save the latest change. After 20 seconds, the new
settings are saved and will be restored if the module loses power and must be
restarted.
