Panel Name

fwOriginalConfig.pnl

Introduction

This panel is used to set up the original value configuration for one or many data point elements. If the panel is used for just one data point element at a time, the panel shows the current original value of the data point element when loaded.

Instructions

When configuring the original value configuration for a data point element (or elements) you should first choose exactly what you want to set. You can choose to set any (or any combination of) the following things:

1) The original value itself
2) The Active and Invalid bits
3) The User bits

You can choose what to set, by checking the relevant check box. If a check box is checked, then the corresponding settings will be written when you press OK or Apply. If the check box is unchecked, those settings on the data point elements will remain untouched when you press OK or Apply

If you want to set an original value, type it in the text field. For <dyn_var> types, you will need to build or edit the list using the buttons provided to the right of the original value display.

To choose the state of the Active, Invalid or User Bits, simply press on the buttons. If they are dark grey, this means that bit is active (1), else if they are default light grey the bit is inactive (0).

Once the settings are as you require, press OK or Apply to save the configuration.

Restrictions

The options that are available depends on the type of the data point elements. The panel does not, for example, allow any settings on Structure data point elements which have no original value.

If you load the panel for a collection of data point elements, some of which are of <var> and some which are <dyn_var>, the panel will show only the options that can be applied to all the current elements. So, for example, if the panel is used to configure a float element and a dyn_float element, the original value will not be able to be configured because it does not make sense to write the same value to these two data point element. You can still set the Active, Invalid and User Bits if you require. You can press the "Select Elements" buttons to choose which data point elements to configure from the list that was passed to the panel.
