Device Manager
Definition File Version – Parameter Version
Both definition files and device software include parameters and are indicated by a version num-
ber.
The version of the definition file matches the version of the device software.
If a device is updated with a new parameter version it does not always demand a new definition
file. An old definition file can often be used but if new parameters have been added in the new
parameter version, these parameters will not be editable. The release note will tell you if a new
definition file is needed to match the new parameters.
Example
If a parameter version for a Number is 2.5, then a parameter definition file with a version be-
tween 2.0 and 2.5 is required.
Import a Package File
A package file may include different types of files, such as software files, parameter definition
files and/or template files. If the package does not include a certain file, it can be imported sepa-
rately. See
Import Parameter Definition Files
Import new Software for Devices
on
page 55, and/or
on page 58.

The files included in the package are now imported. If needed, select the Parameter definition
tab or Software tab to view the corresponding imported files (if any).

Template tab.

Import Parameter Definition Files
Updated parameter definition files are distributed by your supplier.
Parameter definition files (.def) are mainly included in package files (.pkg) distributed by
your supplier, see
on page 54.

In the File menu, click “File management”. The File management window opens.
2)
Click the Parameter definition tab.
3)
Click “Add”. The Import files window opens.

7)
Click “Close”.
If a definition file for a certain device type already exists in the database and an attempt is made
to import a definition file with the same parameter version but with a lower revision, the file will
not be imported. But if a new definition file with the same parameter version with a higher revi-
sion is imported, the old file will be replaced with the new imported file.
