Again, the latter is the more convenient approach.
In both of the above configuration situations, you can transfer configuration parameters
to each of the DDFRs using either,
• new "fresh" individual parameters; parameters that you can transfer immediately -
parameter by parameter - to each DDFR unit, or
• complete "preset" configuration parameter files - Settings Files - for each unit,
already set up and saved in the configuring computer.
This creation of complete sets of "preset" configuration parameters (Settings Files)
can be done while the computer and DDFR unit are connected to the system (ie:
online) - that is, parameters are transferred to each DDFR unit immediately, saving
these parameters on the computer in the process - or with the DDFR units
disconnected (ie: offline) - that is, saved on the computer then transferred to the
respective DDFRs at a later, more convenient, time.
Figure 3-2 below shows how "Device Setup" (another way of referring to DDFR
Configuration) can be accessed from either the Online or Offline window.
To reconfigure the parameters of any of the DDFR units in your system, generally it's a
simple job to reconfigure the units online using the above "fresh" or "preset" techniques.
For details, see section 3.3.
