 Color of Parameter Values
Table E-3-14
Color Explanation
No color Indicates that the parameter values in the Device Values area and Work area are the
same.
Magenta Indicates that for writable parameters there is a difference between the values in the
Device Values area and Work area. (Note that this does not indicate that the parameters
are targeted to be downloaded.) If even one of the parameters in the tab is in magenta, the
magenta symbol ■ is displayed beside the tab name.
Yellow Indicates that for read-only parameters there is a difference between the values in the
Device Values area and Work area. If even one of the parameters in the tab is in yellow, the
yellow symbol ■ is displayed beside the tab name.
Orange Indicates that for writable parameters there is a difference between the values on the
left and right of the screen. I.e. It indicates difference between the connected device and
imported files. If even one of the parameters in the tab is in orange, the orange symbol ■ is
displayed beside the tab name.
Red Indicates that for writable parameters there is error found on the right screen, including not
only key in by user but data of imported files.
If even one of the parameters in the tab is in red, the red symbol ■ is displayed beside the
tab name.
Green Indicate the parameter properties difference between the values in the Device Values area
and Work area.
Due to DD structure, parameter properties i.e. (Edit Format, Display Format, EnumList,
Validity, ReadOnly/WriteOnly/ReadWrite etc) are changed.
If even one of the parameters in the tab is in green, the green symbol ■ is displayed beside
the tab name.
 Checkboxes beside Parameters
Checkboxes are only displayed for writable parameters. If checkmarks are added to the
checkboxes, the corresponding parameters are written to the device in the order that they are
displayed in the window when the Download Checked Parameters command is executed.
If a parameter-value display area in the Work area changes from its original color to magenta, a
checkmark is also added to the checkbox.
In other words, immediately after the parameters are loaded into the Work area when File or
Database is selected, checkmarks are added to the checkboxes of all writable parameters for
which there is a difference between values in the Work area and Device Values area. That is, all
parameters indicated in magenta.
Furthermore, when a value is edited in the window and the parameter-value display area
changes from its original color to magenta, a checkmark is also added to the checkbox.
