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 users when starting an application in Offline mode.

In Elipse E3, Elipse Power, or Elipse Water applications, the value of these settings can also be defined at run time. To do this, start this Driver in Offline mode by selecting the Start driver OFFLINE option on the Setup tab of the properties dialog box.

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