Direct Assignment Through Tables
Use this feature to view or set common parameters and view local
parameters. Assignment through tables is generally used to edit common
parameters.
To edit the values of the common parameters or view the local parameters,
follow these steps.

2.
Press the appropriate softkey for the table to be viewed. The macro
parameters are separated in to 4 tables:
{LOCAL PARAM}
softkey -- Use this softkey to view the local parameters
of the currently active program (unless the block look ahead has
scanned an upcoming paramacro call). This table includes parameters
numbered 1 - 33. Only one of the five available sets can be viewed on
this screen at any one time. The local parameters reset to zero at the end
of program command (M02 or M30).
{COM-1 PARAM}
softkey -- Use this softkey to view or edit the common
parameters numbered 100 - 199 (available to any program, subprogram,
or paramacro program). These common parameters lose their value and
are reset to zero when power to the control is turned off.
{COM-2A PARAM}
softkey -- Use this softkey to view or edit the common
parameters (available to any program, subprogram, or paramacro
program) numbered 500 - 519. These common parameters are in
backed up memory. This means that their value is retained even when
power to the control is cycled off. In addition to being in backed up
memory these parameters allow an alphanumeric name to be assigned to
them. This alphanumeric name is only for the purpose of easy
identification. It may not be used to call a common parameter in a
program.
{COM-2B PARAM}
softkey -- Use this softkey to view or edit the common
parameters. These common parameters, 520 to 699, are battery-backed
up on the 9/240. On the 9/230, 9/260, and 9/290, parameters 520 to 999
are backed up by the supercapacitor. This means that their value is
retained even when power to the control is cycled off. They differ from
common 2A parameters in that they do not allow an additional name to
be stored in the table with their values.
