3.11 Set system parameters using a memory card - e4settings.ini

3.11 Set system parameters using a memory card - e4settings.ini
A few system settings on the base device can be defined from generation 08 with the
help of the "e4settings.ini" file and can be transferred to the device by the microSD
without using easySoft 8 or the device menu. These system settings are not part of a
user program.
The "e4settings.ini" file is saved in the same directory (ROOT) as the one for a firm-
ware update.
Creation and editing of this "e4settings.ini" file must be in the form of an ASCII text
file. You can do this with any text editor on the PC.
The syntax for value assignment can be taken from the example of the ini file, see →
Section ""e4settings.ini" example for data content from generation 08", page 151
Compliance with this syntax is mandatory.
The values can be adapted.
The following system settings for the display and update behavior can be set in the
"e4settings.ini" file:
Display language
l
Brightness display 1 and 2
l
Timeout for brightness changeover
l
Color setting
l
Start time for the graphic screen
l
Firmware update behavior
l
To transfer the parameters of the "e4settings.ini" file to the base device, proceed as
follows:
Switch off the easyE4 base device.
Plug the microSD memory card with the "e4settings.ini" file into the microSD
card holder, then slide the holder into the device.
Switch on the easyE4 base device.
The parameters have then been adopted by the base device.
If the entered value is not plausible,
the previously set value for the base device is retained.
Any parameters not required do not need to be set.
The sequence of parameters is not defined.
