WORKING OFFLINE

It is possible to perform various functions with the programmer independent
of the control system. Working offline, you can:
• Load a .cpf file, adjust its parameter settings, and save
these into the same or a new .cpf file that can be restored
into a controller when the programmer is online again.
• Delete files and folders, create new folders, and rename
and rearrange files and folders using the File Manager
menu.
• Adjust programmer settings and save them to a new
.hps file using the HHP Settings menu.
While you are working offline, the green circle in the upper right-hand corner
of the screen is replaced by a red slash:
mer is not connected to a control system.
You can work offline with the programmer unconnected, with the programmer
connected to a control system that is turned off, or with the programmer con-
nected to a control system that is turned on. Each works a little differently.
Programmer unconnected
To work offline with the programmer unconnected, the programmer must
have batteries.
Turn on the programmer using the power key (
mer powers up, the screen will display the red slash indicating that no system
is connected. Press the "Go Offline" softkey.
You must first choose whether to work within the programmer's internal
memory or its SD card; highlight whichever you prefer and then press the
right-arrow key ( ).
Typically offline mode is used to adjust parameter settings within a .cpf
file. To select a .cpf file, highlight it and press the "Open" softkey. When the
programmer has finished loading the information in the .cpf file, you will see
the Main Menu screen. Select the Parameters menu and make the desired pa-
rameter adjustments. Select the Programming menu to save these changes; you
can save them in the same .cpf file or save them as a new .cpf file. If you want
to make changes in a different .cpf file, return to the Programming menu and
open the desired .cpf file.
When working offline, you can also select the File Manager menu to
manage your files and folders, or select the HHP Settings menu to create a new
.hps file of programmer settings.
When you are finished working offline, there is no "Go Online" softkey
to allow you to change to online mode—because you are not connected to a
system.
