While the parameters are downloading, a warning
message may appear if at least one optional SW
is marked as activated in the INI file but is not
available in the AVR (Figure 6-14).
The warning window (Figure 6-14) also shows a
list of all optional SW which is activated according
to the INI file but which is not available in the
AVR. These will only be activated in the AVR,
when they have been enabled (available) using
the SW Options tool from the CMT1000.
Figure 6-14 A warning message is
shown when one or more optional
SW is set as active in the INI file but
not available in the AVR.
Save Parameter File
The parameter values can be stored in a configuration INI file to the PC hard disk, for
further download to one or more AVRs (i.e. during commissioning) or for use as a
reference parameter file. A configuration INI file can be downloaded to a UN1020 AVR by
using the command "Open Parameter File".
When "Save Parameter File" is executed during Offline, it allows the user to create a
preconfigured file for further download to one or more AVRs. Once the CMT1000 is
started, all parameters are normally set to default values and they can be modified when
Offline. After they have been modified and the command "Save Parameter File" is
selected, all parameter values are stored in an INI file whose name is specified by the user
during the file creation process. The resulting INI file can be downloaded to an AVR using
the command "Open Parameter File".
When "Save Parameter File" is executed during Monitor or Control mode, all parameter
values written in the configuration INI file are read directly from the connected AVR; i.e. the
created INI file reflects the actual configuration of the AVR. During Monitor or Control
mode, this command can be used when a device must be replaced by a spare unit.
IMPORTANT!
A parameter *.INI file can be opened and read with a common text
editor and without the CMT1000 tool.
However, modifying a *.INI file by directly writing-in with a text editor
may lead to the complete inoperability of the parameters file. The
CMT1000 may not be able to correctly read the file any longer and
serious damage may be caused to the equipment due to the incorrect
parameter settings.
Please open an *.INI file using the CMT1000 all the time, when a
parameter value has to be changed.
