The Device menu allows you to configure the Offline Programming Software
to match the type of DL40 to which you will be downloading your work. You
can change the selected device at any time the
Develop Menu bar appears
onscreen.
When selecting a new device for an existing file, you will receive error
messages if the new device is incompatible with the messages in the file. For
example, if a message in the file requires 4 display lines, you will not be able
to select a two-line DL40.
This menu automatically pops up after you create a new file as described on
page 5 – 4, so you need access this menu from the
Develop Menu bar only
if you need to change the type of DL40 selected.
The three variables which make up a device specification include the
following:
Variable Available choices
