6.4.5 Options menu
6.4.5.1 Basic settings...
Changing the basic settings
The menu command "Options" > "Basic settings..." starts a dialog box in which you can
change the basic behavior and appearance of SIRIUS engineering. Any changes you make
do not become effective until you choose "OK" or "Apply".
Change options
● Language
All available languages are shown in the selection list. When you change the language,
this affects all the texts displayed in all the SIRIUS engineering products that are installed
(menu texts, dialog texts, parameter names, etc.). Switching to a different language does
not in any way affect how SIRIUS engineering functions.
● Show picture at startup of SIRIUS engineering
If you activate this checkbox, SIRIUS engineering displays a picture for a few seconds in
the middle of the screen when the program starts.
● In "Offline" condition: Automatic "Load to PC" after "Load to switching device"
This setting is only effective if you choose "Target system" > "Load to switching device"
before an online connection to a safety relay has been established. In this case, the
program establishes a new connection, transfers the parameters to the device, and then
terminates the connection immediately afterwards.
The behavior at this point depends on whether you have activated the checkbox: In
"Offline" condition: automatic "Load to PC" after "Load to switching device":
– Activated: the program reestablishes a connection with the same device, loads its
parameters to the PC, and maintains the online connection. You can check the
parameters and determine how they affect the behavior of the device.
– Deactivated: no further automatic actions are carried out. The program has the same
status as it did before the action "Load to switching device".
