Configuring Properties

This topic contains information about the properties available on the BoschCL tab, already including the value of Strings of offline properties that can be programmed by users when starting an application in Offline mode.

For E3 or Elipse Power applications, the value of these settings can also be defined at run time. To do so, select the Start driver OFFLINE option to start this Driver in Offline mode.

The configuration options for this Driver are described on the next table.
