Configuring Properties |
This topic contains information about the properties available on the GEETH tab, including the value of "Offline Property Strings" that can be programmed by the user, 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 this, start the Driver in "Offline" mode leaving the Start driver OFFLINE option enabled, through the Setup tab, in the properties dialog box.
The configuration options for this Driver are listed in the table below:
