Impulse Dymanics OPTIMIZER Smart System - Parameter Color Convention; Parameter Conflicts

56
14.1 Parameter Color Convention
The following color convention is used to represent the programmer’s parameter values
and conflicts:
• Black: for the current parameter values of the OPTIMIZER Smart IPG; i.e. the
last interrogated/programmed parameter values.
• Blue: for modified allowed values; i.e. parameter values that are different from
the programmed values which if selected, will not result in a parameter conflict.
• Red: for modified unallowed values; i.e. parameter values that are different from
the programmed values which if selected, will result in a parameter conflict.
The black/blue/red (programmed, pending, conflict) color convention is also used in the
list of possible values for a particular parameter. Thus the user can see all three types of
parameter values displayed in the list of parameter choices and know in advance whether
choosing a particular parameter value will or will not result in a parameter conflict.
14.2 Parameter Conflicts
When parameter values that are incompatible with each other are selected, a parameter
conflict occurs. Typical conflicts arise from trying to program timing intervals that should
add up to less than another programmed parameter. The OMNI Smart Programmer will
not allow the OPTIMIZER Smart IPG to be programmed with parameter values that will
result in a parameter conflict.
When a parameter conflict occurs, the parameter values that are in conflict are displayed
in red. In addition, an error message is displayed in the Programming Bar for each
parameter in conflict.
Parameter conflict error messages include:
• Which parameter values are in conflict
• An explanation of why the conflict arose
To resolve a parameter conflict, new values must be selected for the parameters that are
causing the conflict. Viewing the conflicting parameters may be rapidly achieved by:
• Select the error message. A list of the parameters in conflict appears.
• Select a parameter name from this list to display a table of all its possible values.
• Select a new “blue” value for the parameter from the list of parameter values.
Conflicting parameters can also be found directly under the Follow Up or Parameters
bars, since these values appear in red. Look for the names of the conflict related tabs in
the parameter conflict message displayed in the Parameter Conflict Bar.
Please note that it is permissible to select a parameter that causes a conflict provided that
another parameter value is changed that resolves the conflict.
