dow will be displayed.

The Master and PC models can be changed at this point by clicking on
“Change.” (All other Master parameters will be cleared if the Master or PC
model is changed.)

on “Read from File” and select the desired file to read its data.
When reading parameters from the Master online, click on “Read from
Device” and select the desired Master.

on “Compare to File” or “Compare to Device.” (The Configurator must be
online to compare to the Master settings.)

parameter file.
