Configuring Properties

This topic contains information about the properties available on the TRJTracker tab, including the value of offline property Strings that can be user-programmed 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, start this Driver in Offline mode by selecting the Start driver OFFLINE option on the Setup tab of the properties dialog box.

This Driver's configuration options are listed on the next table.
