5 Configuration via PowerPort-E
5.1 Configuration File
In the vice versa case, however, if the conversion goes from a device without
communication to a target device with any communication features, it is impossible to
expect sensible communication values from a non-communication source. So, after all, you
should never trust an automatic conversion! Always have a look yourself before you go live
with the settings.
Upgrade Firmware Version
A comparable problem arises if one tries to transfer an ErPara file to a connected device
which differs in its firmware version: PowerPort-E refuses the transfer with an "Invalid
Parameter file!" error message.
In this case you can convert the settings to the firmware version of the connected device.
The conversion does not work for different E-Series devices, nor does it work from a new
firmware to an older version! In other words, it is only possible to "upgrade" a device.
Select the PowerPort-E menu »[File → Save As...]« to open the normal "Save As" dialog. As
you can see, the "file type" shown at the bottom of the dialog is not only "*.ErPara", but the
version number is also part of it. Now you can expand the "file type" selection list, it offers
all versions for which a device model has been previously installed (see also the Notice
about device models in
according to your target device and click »Save«.
