WORKING OFFLINE
It is possible to perform various functions with the programmer independent
of the control system. Working offline, you can:
• Adjust parameters in the Parameters menu.
• Edit and save .cpf files in the Program menu.
• Delete files and folders, create new folders, and rename
and rearrange files and folders in the File Manager
menu.
• Adjust programmer settings and save them to a new
.hps file in the HHP Settings menu.
To work offline, press the “Go Offline” softkey on the Main Menu screen. A
pop-up screen will ask you whether you want to work offline, and softkeys offer
the choice of “Cancel” and “OK.”
While you are working offline, the green circle in the upper right-hand
corner of the screen is replaced by a red slash:
, indicating that the
programmer is not connected to a control system.
You can work offline with the programmer unconnected, with the programmer
connected to a control system that is turned off, or with the programmer con
-
nected to a control system that is turned on. Each works a little differently.
Programmer unconnected
To work offline with the programmer unconnected, the programmer must
have batteries.
Turn on the programmer using the power key (
). When the program-
mer powers up, the screen will display the red slash indicating that no system
is connected. Press the “Go Offline” softkey.
When you first enter offline mode, you must first choose whether to work
within the programmer’s internal memory or its SD card. Select whichever you
prefer, scroll down to the Parameter Files folder, and press the right-arrow key
(
). Select a .cpf file and press the “Open” softkey. When the programmer has
finished loading the information in the .cpf file, you will see the Main Menu
screen
within the .cpf and you can then select the menu(s) you want and pro-
ceed to make the desired changes. If you want to make changes in a different
.cpf file, you must turn off the programmer and start over.
When you are finished working offline, there is no “Go Online” softkey
to allow you to change to online mode—because you are not connected to a
system.
If the programmer is on when you connect it to a control system, the Main
Menu screen will display a “Go Online” softkey. If you turn off the programmer
before connecting it to the control system, it will power up in online mode.
