are consistent and the total effort is minimal. Address parameters are adopted
from the project engineering.

1 Start the Station Configuration Editor from the Start menu.
"
(Start Station Configuration Editor) or by double -clicking on the icon in the Windows
SYSTRAY.

All the modules and applications specified in the project engineering are entered and displayed
in a window.

configuration.
