Installing and operating the Portable Device Manager (WinPDM)
Definition File Version – Parameter Version
Both definition files and device software include parameters and are indicated by a version
number.
If a device associated to a Number is upgraded to a software supporting another parameter
version than the stored Number, it does not always demand a new definition file. An old
definition file can often be used, but if new parameters have been added in the new parameter
version these parameters will not be editable. The release note will tell you if a new definition file
is needed to match the new parameters. If the old definition file cannot be used, it will be
highlighted with red.
