Off-line mode
Choose this option if there is no connection with the SIMATRIX.
If the programming software is unable to establish a connection to the SIMATRIX,
the off-line mode will automatically be selected.
2.1.3.2 Interface parameters
The SIMATRIX will display the chosen baud rate upon start-up. The PC to which
the SIMATRIX is connected must be set to the same baud rate and other interface
parameters as the SIMATRIX.
The following parameters for communication with the SIMATRIX can be enabled
and assigned to the active interface in the programming PC:
z

You can use any file name you want.
The file extension is set to *.dat as standard, but, like the file name, can be set to
any extension you want.
