1.1 The Configuration Tool
The configuration tool is a software package used for developing projects for operator
panels in the E1000-series. The functions in the configuration tool depend on which
operator panel model is used.
In the configuration tool a project is created with graphic blocks and text blocks,
which are then transferred to the operator panel. The configuration is described in
the chapter Configuration with the Configuration Tool.
Help texts are available for all functions. The help text for the current function is dis-
played by pressing the F1 key. By clicking the help button in the toolbar and then
clicking on a function, information is shown about that function.
System Requirements
To use the configuration tool, a PC with at least 100 MB of available memory and
Microsoft Windows 2000/XP Professional is required. The configuration tool can be
used on either a color or monochrome screen. Microsoft Internet Explorer version
5.0 or later must be installed on the computer.
Installing the Configuration Tool
The configuration tool is supplied on a CD. When placing the CD in the CD-ROM
drive, the installation will start automatically. If not, select Run on the Start menu
and enter D:\setup.exe (if D: is the CD-ROM drive). Select to install the configura-
tion tool by clicking on the name and following the instructions.
The installation creates an icon for the configuration tool in the E-Designer group.
Clicking Start and selecting All Programs/E-Designer/E-Designer starts the config-
uration tool.
