17�8�2 Testing and saving
The operator panel settings are saved in the user script. When you click the Save button, a script le
is created and stored in the device. This means the device has to be restarted, taking a few minutes.
You can use the Test button to transfer the settings to the device without a restart. You can test the
way the menus work in the operator panel, but the settings will be lost the next time the device
restarts unless you remember to click Save before quitting the tool. The tool always loads the con-
guration from the user script.
17�8�3 Limitations
As always, there are some restrictions on what you can do. WMPro cannot handle more than 250
menu items. Overall storage space is also limited, so you may run out of memory even before you
reach the 250 menu items. If so, an error will occur when you attempt to save or test.
17�8�4 Advanced settings
If you click the Advanced button, some more settings ap-
pear. You can specify exactly how the values are displayed
and edited, and what values are accepted.
The Edit Method eld denes how a value will be changed
when it is edited. Normal edit is the usual method, and it is
the method used for controller menus.
If you choose Digital ON/OFF, the value will appear as OFF
if it is 0, and ON if it is 1. The value can only be changed to
one of these values.
The Step edit method means you can use the arrow keys
to change the value in steps. You can specify the step size
in the eld underneath.
The Select and Named Select methods mean you use the up and down arrows to move between the
values or names specied in a comma-separate list in the eld below. If you use this method, make
sure you use the correct formatting.
Check the Value Range Limit box if you want to specify upper and lower limits for the entered value.
If you use step as the edit method, you will not be able to go beyond these limits. The upper limit is
the value on the right.
The Format Type denes how a value will be displayed, with the number of digits and decimal
places. Standard means the number of decimal places displayed will depend on the channel or pa-
rameter settings. With this format type, the number is left-padded.
