Device window pages

The following table shows which device window pages are available with this individual device type.

Configuration parameters

At the maintenance page of the device window there are a couple of configuration parameters which must be set to make the software talk to the unit.

parameter description
address The device address (decimal) as set at the device's front panel.
Serial Remember to set the line parameters for the serial interface
readBackDelay Defines the delay the driver uses when it reads back parameters recently commanded. The delay is initialized at a proved preset value which should not be changed under normal circumstances.
