 Color of Parameter Values
Table F-3-4
Color Explanation
No color Indicates that the parameter values in the Device Values area (database 1) and Work area
(database 2) are the same.
Magenta Indicates that for writable parameters there is a difference between the values in the Device
Values area (database 1) and Work area (database 2). (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 (database 1) and Work area (database 2). 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 the difference between the connected device and imported
files, difference between files in the database, between imported files and files in the database. 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.
Operation when exiting Parameter Manager
• Communicate with the connected device and check whether the device parameter has
been changed when exiting Parameter Manager in device mode. If there has been a
change, prompt query message and exit after confirmation.
• When exiting Parameter Manager without communications with the device, change
database value in display on the screen and make sure to check it has not been saved.
If it has not been saved, inquire with “You have changed parameters. Save changes to
database?,” if the answer is “yes,” overwrite the database and exit.
