4.1 Data compare

The function 'Data compare' works in the tab 'Parameter' and also in the 'Direct mode' on the same way.

With the function 'Data compare', you can compare the content of the currently displayed parameter set with an already saved
data set.
The function 'Data compare' compares the currently displayed data set with an already saved one.

Goal: Compare saved data set with the current one.

Procedure: Select the tab 'Parameter'. By selecting any parameter with the right mouse button, the context menu opens.
Select 'Data compare'.

PDK_204413_AIPEX_LITE / Version 2018/23 35 / 45

Goal: Open comparative data set.
Procedure: Select the directory and your comparative data set. Acknowledge the selection with the button 'Open'.

If the comparative data set contains several devices, you need to discern them based on the device address.

36 / 45 PDK_204413_AIPEX_LITE / Version 2018/23

If you select the upper option, the same parameter set or otherwise the same instance of the comparative file is used as for the
original data set; i.e. the tabs (P-set 0, P-set 1... Inst 0, Inst 2...) underneath the table are also valid for the comparative data
set.
The lower option selects a set value for the parameter set and the instance of the reference file. The tabs (P-set 0, P-set 1...

The data of the reference file are displayed in an additional column but cannot be modified. All data of the reference file
differing from the original data set are marked in colour.
A click in the title field of the reference file changes between the display of all parameters and a display of the differentiating
parameters.

Goal: Close comparative data set

Procedure: Open the context menu with the right mouse button. By clicking on the 'Data compare' menu item again, the
button 'Close' in the subsequent dialog window can be activated then.

4.2 Event trace
The ID34088 'Event trace' of the currently selected device will be displayed.
The list is created in LIFO mode (last in, first out) so that the last entry is seen first.
The number of saved errors depends on the type of device.

BSTD: Operating hours

E: Error message number
I: Additional Information
Adr: Device Address
(1): Example Start of the device
(2): Example Restart of the device after FL 'Clear error'

4.3 Export data set

With using the function 'Export data set', a XML file of the actual marked device will be generated and exported to the pc hard
disk.

4.6 Parameter selection
Open the dialog box by pressing the button Parameter selection.

Selection Description
All parameters All parameters are displayed. (System-internal parameters need to be selected additionally)
Individual groups All parameters of the selected parameter group are displayed.
Own list All parameters of the selected own list are displayed.
The own lists can be expanded as needed. Each list consists of a sequence of ID numbers or
number ranges separated by commas and can be designated by a freely selectable name. Example:
My list 1, 2, 5, 90, 32000-32100
Each list is deleted again by complete removal of the content.

System-internal System-internal parameters are displayed in the parameter list (colour red)
Parameters
Permit changes After the release, system-internal parameters can be modified.
