1313 Handheld Programmer Manual, Rev. B
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.
Programmer connected to a system that is not running
To work offline with the programmer connected to a system that is not run-
ning, 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. A “Wait for System” message appears briefly; you can press the
“Go Offline” softkey at this point. If you don’t press it quickly enough, you
will see a warning screen announcing that no system has been found and sug-
gesting that you switch on the system. Instead, press the “Cancel” softkey; after
you do this, the “Go Offline” softkey becomes available again. Press the “Go
Offline” softkey.
Once you are offline, you choose whether to work within the programmer’s
internal memory or its SD card and then proceed to select, edit, and save .cpf
files; manage your files and folders; or adjust the programmer’s settings, as
described above for an unconnected programmer.
When you are finished working offline, press the “Go Online” softkey in
the Main Menu. A pop-up screen asks you to confirm that you want to change
to online mode. Press the “OK” softkey, and you then see the “Wait for System”
message. Switch on the system, and you will be in online mode.
If you switch on the control system before pressing the “Go Online”
softkey, you will still be in offline mode. You can press the “Go Online” softkey
now, and then confirm that you want to be in online mode (“OK” softkey).
Programmer connected to a running control system
To work offline with the programmer connected to a system that is running,
press the “Go Offline” softkey shown in the Main Menu screen. The change
to offline mode is not made immediately. You will notice that the green “con-
nected” circle is still displayed in the upper right corner of the screen.
You will next see the screen asking you to choose whether to work within
the programmer’s internal memory or its SD card. Select whichever you pre-
fer, and press the right-arrow key (
). Select a .cpf file and press the “Open”
softkey. It is only at this point that the green “connected” circle changes to the
red “unconnected” slash. You can then edit and save the .cpf file as described
above for an unconnected programmer. Note that when the programmer is
connected to a running control system, working with .cpf files is the only off-
line function available.
When you are finished working offline, press the “Go Online” softkey
in the Main Menu, and then confirm that you want to change to online mode
(“OK” softkey).
