Changes made using offline tools affect
"ONLY"
the RAM [2] at first.
•
Save your project so that the changes can be stored on the hard disk
[1] of your engineering PC [3].
•
Execute the "Download (PC->unit)" function if you want to transfer the
changes to your unit [4] as well. This is only possible, when the PC is
connected to the device via USB.
