Configuring Properties

This topic contains information about the properties available on the ZabbixDriver tab, already including the value of the Strings for offline properties, 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.
