Allowing online modification of setpoints

Specifying the ability to make online changes for recipe phases, operator dialog, recipe operations, and
recipe unit procedures
The ability to make online changes to parameter values is specified in the properties dialogs
for recipe phases, operator dialogs, recipe operations, and recipe unit procedures. You open
the properties dialog by selecting a recipe element and clicking the "Properties" command in
the associated shortcut menu. You specify the ability to make online changes in the "Input
materials", "Output material" and "Process parameters" tabs using the "Modifiable" and
"Effective immediately" columns.
Note
The default values for online changes in the properties dialogs are set project-wide via the
computer settings in the Recipe Editor (Options > Settings > Computer settings) in the
"Batches" folder. These are the "Allow online setpoint change" and "Transfer setpoint changes
to active step" settings.
During batch control, the parameter input fields for changing the parameter value are editable.
Modifications in transitions
For transitions, process parameters updated at runtime can also be used for the evaluation of
transitions. You can specify that the modification should take immediate effect in the properties
dialog of the transition. Using the "Effective immediately" column for operands 1 and 2, you
can specify that the value of the process parameter will take effect immediately when changed.
