5.1

About the Parameter Monitor

Use the Parameter Monitor to view and edit parameter values in the connected drive.
You can also set up monitor lists to store your choices for future use. The Parameter
Monitor is not affected by and does not affect the opened configuration.

Important: If WebPak 3000 parameter changes are disabled by the drive’s Program

Protection jumper (J16), you cannot write parameters to the drive.

You cannot change parameter values in the opened configuration using the Parameter
Monitor. To copy changes made in Monitor into the opened configuration, you must
upload the drive configuration from the drive (refer to chapter 4).

To access the Parameter Monitor, choose Parameter Monitor from the Drive menu, or

click .

The first time you access the Parameter Monitor, the window is blank. Use the Add,
Remove, Assign, and Save buttons at the top of the window to create a parameter list
that can be saved for future use. See the following sections for information about using
these functions.

When parameters are displayed in the Parameter Monitor window, the parameter
values are updated periodically from the drive.
