Offline mode gives the user the opportunity to conduct programming and configuration, without a PF
connection. All programming is stored to or read from a file. It is possible to copy this file to one or
more PF units.
There are three different ways to select the offline mode:
In the main Menu list, select Focus>Offline.
In the Selected controller drop menu, select Offline.
In the PF Map, double-click Offline.
The file can be located on the local hard drive, network, etc. There is a certain number of default files
supplied when installing ToolsTalk PF. Also, find these files separately on the ToolsTalk PF installation
CD-ROM. Depending on the RBU license level; just select the file to use. The different RBU types
correspond to the names of the default files (“DS.pf3”, “Gold.pf3”, “Silver.pf3” and “Bronze.pf3”). It is
recommended to make a backup of these files.
Select a file with the same license level as PF. ToolsTalk PF opens the
selected file and enables the user to change it.
It is possible to continue to change the content of a file with a higher RBU
license level, but when trying to use the file with a PF with a lower license
level a warning message is generated.
Note: It is also possible to modify the current configuration. Before
disconnecting, use commend File>Store PF to File to store the current
configuration file.
To upload the file, connect PF and select File>Read PF from File.
