The connection is used to search for connected devices. SOPAS ET adds the
devices found to the project tree and loads the current parameter set to the device
via upload.

Initial commissioning
The device is adjusted to the measurement or detection situation on site using the
SOPAS ET configuration software. To do this, SOPAS ET creates an application-specific
parameter set of parameter values. For this purpose, the parameter set can first be
loaded from the device (upload, initial commissioning: factory default setting). Or it is
created independently, either based on the factory default settings or as a modification
of an already existing parameter set of the device of the same type and firmware
version.
The parameter set is then loaded into the device (download). This either happens
immediately (SOPAS ET option:
Immediate download
) or manually (SOPAS ET command:
Download all parameters to the device
).
NOTE
After completing configuration, the changed parameter set must be permanently stored
in the non-volatile memory of the device. In the context of a backup concept for the
created parameter values, saving the parameter set as a project file (*.sopas file with
configuration data) on the computer for archiving is recommended.
