XTC/3 Editor Operating Manual
HINT: When editing a Configuration for an attached Controller, the best starting
point is the choice of Query Controller Cfg as shown in Figure 3-4 . This
selection reads the entire Configuration from the Controller and fills the
Editor pages with all the parameters of the Configuration file. This allows for
full synchronization of the parameter settings before any changes are made
through the Editor. As changes are made they can be checked, by the
Editor, against other related parameters to ensure that no conflicts exist.

NOTE: When the Query Controller Cfg command is used, the Controller front
panel is essentially locked against any changes being entered. This
ensures that all parameters in the Editor, and any changes being made,
will be applied without conflict to the Controller. The "Locked" status of the
Controller is shown in the upper left corner of all Editor dialogs and on the
Controller icon (see
Figure 3-5 ). The "Locked" status can not be applied if,
while editing a new or existing Configuration, a single page is queried from
the Controller without having queried the entire Configuration first.
