10.4.5 Parameter List Filter

A filter function provides Parameter List search capabilities. To use the filter function, simply type a word or portion of a word into the filter entry box and then click the “filter” button. Refer to Figure 14.

The filter will then display only those parameters currently available in the Parameter List that satisfy the search criteria. For example, to find all monitor parameters that contain some derivative of the word “volt” (such as “voltage” or “volts”), select the

“Monitor Parameters” group, the “All” subgroup, and then enter “volt” in the filter entry box.

Once a filter has been entered, it will continue to be applied to all information normally displayed in the Parameter List for as long as the filter term is left in the filter entry box. Continuing the previous example where we filtered on the root term “volt” in the monitor parameters, we can then easily apply this filter to all parameters (configuration, command or monitor) simply by selecting the “All” parameter group. The Parameter List will now display all configuration, command or monitor parameters that contain the root term “volt”.

To remove the filter, delete any characters contained in the filter entry box and then click the “filter” button.

10.4.6 Radix Selection

Figure 15 shows the radix selection buttons. These selection buttons allow changing the Parameter List “value” column data display and entry radix between decimal and hexadecimal formats.

When “DEC” is selected, the “value” column

heading will be “Value (Decimal)”, current parameter values will be displayed in decimal, and values to be written to parameters must be entered in decimal format. For example, to change the drive’s frequency command to 40.00Hz, enter the decimal value 4000.

Similarly, when “HEX” is selected, the “value” column heading will be “Value (Hexadecimal)”, current parameter values will be displayed in hexadecimal, and values to be written to parameters must be entered in hexadecimal format. For example, to turn on bits #15, #14 and #10 in the drive’s command word, enter the hexadecimal number C400.
