Note!
Note that you can accelerate the wireless configuration by establishing a fast pipe connection
between the device and the WirelessHART Gateway. For more information on fast pipe
connections, see the manual of the WirelessHART Gateway.

Online and Offline Parameterization (PACTware)

The concept of online and offline parameterization applies only to configuration via device type
manager (DTM) with PACTware.
Offline Parameterization (not connected to device)
If there is no active connection to the device, you can edit and save the data that is stored
locally in PACTware. You can transfer the local data to the device, as soon as a connection
to the device has been established.
Online Parameterization (connected to device)
If there is an active connection to the device, you can directly edit the data that is stored
on the device. Parameter changes are immediately stored on the device.
Note!
Data that is edited and stored on the device during online parameterization is not automatically
synchronized with the offline data in the PACTware project. If you change device parameters in
online mode, the data in PACTware differs from the data on the device. To make sure the data in
PACTware matches the data on the device after online parameterization, load the data from the
device into the PACTware project.
Offline Parameterization
1. Right-click the device in the PACTware project view.
2. Choose Parameter > Offline Parameterization.
The window containing the offline data record appears.
3. Modify a parameter by typing in a new value or choosing a new value from the drop-down
list.
4. To accept the new value, press Enter.
5. After all parameter changes have been made, save your project by choosing File > Save.
6. To write the new offline configuration to the device, right-click the device in the project view
and choose Connect.
A connection to the device is established.
7. Right-click the device again and choose Store to device.
The new configuration is stored in the device.
