5 Conguration via PowerPort-E
It is recommended to use the PowerPort-E operation software for all setting activities that
are beyond changing only a few values. See the basic description (╚═▷ “2.2 Operation via
PowerPort-E”) about how to establish a connection. A detailed description can be found in
the PowerPort-E manual.
It is strongly recommended to archive all the “*.ErPara” conguration les that you
have come across, both in the state before your modications and the modied one.
The »[File]« menu of PowerPort-E oers the usual menu items for handling ErPara les
(»Create New Parameter File«, »Open Existing Parameter File«, »Save«,…).
CAUTION!
However, clicking [Save] does not activate changed values (even though the asterisk
tokens disappear). The [Save] menu (and button) does nothing more than saving your
changes to a *.ErPara le. Remember to always also transfer the parameters to the
connected device if you want to activate your changes.
