CN8-SW™UserÕs Guide

Sometimes it is possible to type a value in the CN8-SW window, but the value will not be accepted by the controller. The value will not be accepted if the controller hardware does not support use of the parameter. You will be informed by a CN8-SW message that the controller will not accept the input.

The displayed values are currently stored in the controller. If you change a value in a parameter window, the change does not take effect until the next scan cycle after you click on the Apply button.

Note that some controllers make a distinction between values stored in volatile (temporary) memory and those stored in non-volatile (permanent) memory. The parameter displays for those devices are supplied with Temporary and Permanent selections. Use these to specify the destination of an entered value before applying it.
