Interactive configuration with SOPAS ET
All configurable parameters of the device are put together in a corresponding device
description (.sdd file) for SOPAS ET. You can access these parameters via the project
tree for the device description.
Depending on the context, the function of the particular parameters is explained in
an online help guide ([F1] button). The
Parameter Info
display window lists the valid
range of values and the default setting (right-click when the pointer is located over the
parameter).
NOTE
Software access to the device is protected by user levels and passwords. After success‐
fully configuring the device, you should change the passwords so they can fulfill their
