Configuring Properties

This topic contains information about the properties available on the RSSP_I_Server tab, already including the value of offline property Strings, which can be user-programmed when starting an application in Offline mode.

For Elipse E3, Elipse Power, or Elipse Water applications, the value of these settings can also be defined at run time. To do so, 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 of this Driver are described on the next table.
