Parameters
It is not necessary to set up two setting groups that only differ in few parameters.
With the help of „Smart View“ you can simply copy an existing setting group to another (not yet configured) one.
You only need to change those parameters where the two setting groups are different.
To efficiently establish a second parameter set where only few parameters are different, proceed as follows.
In case Smart View is not running – please start it.
•
Open an (offline) parameter file of a device or load data of a connected device.
•
By way of precaution, save (the relevant) device parameters [File\Save as].
•
Select »Copy Parameter Sets« out of the menu “Edit”.
•
Then define both, source and destination of the parameter sets to be copied (source = copy from;
destination: copy to ).
•
Mouse click on »OK« to start copy procedure.
•
The copied parameter set is now cached (not yet saved!).
•
Then, modify the copied parameter set(s), if applicable.
•
Assign a new file name to the revised device parameter file and save it on your hard disk (backup copy).
•
To transfer the modified parameters back to the device, click on menu item »Device« and select
»Transfer All Parameters into the Device«.
Comparing Setting Groups via Smart View
In case Smart View is not running – please start it.
•
Click on menu item »Edit« and select »Compare Parameter Sets«.
•
Select the two parameter sets from the (two) drop down menus you would like to have compared with
each other.
•
Press the pushbutton »compare«.
•
The values that are different from the set parameters will be listed in tabular form.
Comparing Parameter Files via Smart View
With the help of „Smart View“ you can simply compare/diff the currently open parameter/device file against a file
on your hard disk. The precondition is that the versions and type of devices match. Please proceed as follows.
•
Click on »Compare with a Parameter File« within the menu »Device«.
•
Click on the Folder icon in order to select a file on your hard disk.
•
The differences will be shown in tabular form.
