Using Parameter Editor

Figure 5-8 Parameter Editor, ROSS Example

Selection from the tree menu in the left panel of the window displays the appli-

cable parameters in the right panel, using a combination of text fields, pull-

down menus, check boxes, and radio buttons.

Configuration Changes

When changes are made to a unit configuration with Parameter Editor, these

changes are saved by clicking on the OK button at the bottom of the Editor

window. Alternatively, these changes are ignored by either clicking on the

Cancel button or closing the Editor window.

Caution: Clicking the OK button saves all of the data from all of the menu

category dialogs simultaneously to the ROSS unit Param file. The OK

and Cancel buttons do not apply to any single dialog, but apply to all

dialogs in the Parameter Editor.

Because the Parameter Editor closes after a save operation, it is recommended

that all desired changes be input prior to clicking on the OK button.

From the VMS ViperView user interface, ParamEdit is accessed by selecting the

ROSS Configure command (figure 5-2).
The following sections describe each of the tree menu items and their associated

configuration parameters and settings.
