11.6 Changing the CPU Parameters
Only certain parameters (object properties) of the CPUs can be modified during
operation. They are identified in the screen form by blue text (if you have set blue
as the color for dialog box text on the Windows Control Panel, the modifiable
parameters are shown in black).
Notice
If you modify parameters that should not be changed, there is no automatic
transfer to the CPU whose parameters have been modified. In this case the event
W#16#5966 is entered in the diagnostics buffer. You must reassign the previously
valid values in the configuration to the parameters you incorrectly modified.
