9 iTOOLS
iTools software running on a PC allows quick and easy access to the configuration of the unit. The parameters
used are generally the same as those described in Section 6, with the addition of various diagnostic parameters.
iTools also gives the user the ability to create software wiring between function blocks, such wiring being carried
out using the Graphical Wiring Editor feature.
In addition to the guidance given here, there are two on-line Help systems available within iTools: Parameter
help and iTools help. Parameter help is accessed by clicking on 'Help' in the toolbar (opens the complete
parameter help system), by right-clicking on a parameter and selecting 'Parameter Help' from the resulting
context menu, or by clicking on the Help menu and selecting 'Device Help'. iTools help is accessed by clicking
on the Help menu, and selecting 'Contents'. iTools help is also available in manual format under part number
HA028838, either as a physical manual or as a PDF file.
