Online and offline parameterization (DTM)
The device DTM provides dialogs for offline and online parameterization.
•
Offline parameterization
(not connected to device): If there is no active connection to
the device, only the device data stored in the PACTware project can be edited and
saved to the PACTware project again. You may write the offline data record into the
device as soon as a connection has been established.
To ensure that the data you are editing is up to date, first load the data from the device
when its online and then edit the data offline.
•
Online parameterization
(connected to device): If there is an active connection to the
device, the device data stored in the device can be edited directly (online). Parameter
changes are stored to the device immediately.
The online and offline data are updated using the commands
Store to device
and
Load
from device
.
Parameterizing offline
1. Right-click the device entry in the PACTware project.
A context menu opens.
2. Choose
Parameter > Offline Parameterization
.
The window containing the offline data record appears.
3. Modify a parameter by typing in a new value or choosing a new value from the drop-
down list.
4. To accept the new value, press
Enter
.
5. After all parameter changes have been made, save your project by choosing
File >
Save
.
Note!
This section only applies to parameterization via FDT/DTM.
Note!
The data edited and stored in the device during online parameterization is not automatically
synchronized with the offline data record in the PACTware project. If you only change
device parameters online, the device data stored in the project differs from the data stored
in the device!
To ensure that the device data stored in the PACTware project always matches the data
stored in the device, load the device data into the project after parameterizing online.
