6 Kickstart Modules

NOTICe

Name

Description

0 – Standard

The read / write behavior is similar to the

Object Editor

,

Read / Write works on the

currently selected object only.

1 – List Read

No

Write / edit functionality, Read always reads the entire list of parameters,

not only a single object.

2 – List Read/Write

No

Store / Reset functionality. Read / Write always affect the entire list of

parameters.

3 – Auto Store

Same as the

editMode = 2 but Write will always execute a Store action after

writing the values, to make the parameter change permanent.

6.3.2 CANopen Node - UI Format

NOTICe

User Level 2 is required to switch to

Design Mode, which makes the UI Format column available for editing.

The

UI Format column in the Parameter editor table configures the editing control available for each data object.

Custom

UI Format settings for each object allow a clean and intuitive on-the-fly visualization of its value. For example, a dial and a slider for

integer data within a well-defined min / max range, or a combo box for multiple-choice parameters.

NOTICe

The

UI Format settings described below are not identical to the ones used for the UI Panel. However, if you drag a data

object from the

UI Panel or the

Object Editor

and drop it on the

CANopen Node panel, appropriate conversions and

additions are applied.

The

UI Format value is a list of key-value attribute pairs, delimited by semi-colons (“;”). The following is a description of the available

attributes:

type
Defines the type of data to be visualized.

type

Description

integer

with different meanings. The values available and their descriptions are defined
