How to use value or parameter windows

At a Glance

The maximized debugging screen commands zone is divided into headings or function groups. The corresponding functions are described in detail in the Description of the standard functions of TSX CTY2A/4A/2C counting modules section, and their essential characteristics are shown in the module configuration procedures.

The next part shows the general principles for using measurement or parameter windows.

A measurement is the result of counting, acquisition or calculation.

A parameter is a piece of input data by the user or project.

Principle for using measurement windows

Windows shown in the example below are used to display the current contents of a register. The values displayed cannot be modified directly by selecting these windows.

The following table summarizes the behavior of values that cannot be modified:

Value	Behavior
Measurement	Cannot be modified. Can be preset by a preset or reset command. The + or - sign on the right of the window indicates the actual direction measurement change.
Speed (CTY 2C)	Cannot be modified or preset.
Address of multiplexed encoder (CTY 2C)	Cannot be modified. Can be preset using the manual Q2 and Q3 outputs if these control the multiplexing.

To modify a parameter value, such as threshold, preset, or rollover values, use the following procedure.
