View and Edit Parameters

  Watch a video showing how to view and edit parameters.



The Programmer application allows you to read and change parameters. Parameters are organized by hierarchical menus. There are two ways to view parameters:

  • To view all the parameters contained by a menu, select the menu. The following example shows the Interlock Type menu’s parameters:

    Parameters on a menu

  • To view one parameter, expand the menu, then select the parameter:

    One parameter

  • If a parameter is read-only, the Project Value, Min Value, and Max Value columns are empty:

    A read-only parameter

Each parameter contains four columns for values. The Device Value column contains the value on the device. You can change the device value in the following ways:

  • Enter the new value in the Device Value column.

  • Click Increment icon to increment the value by one unit.

  • Click Decrement icon to decrement the value by one unit.

  • Click the icons for the other columns:

Icon Column Description
Project Value icon Project Value Sets the parameter to the default value that is defined by the project.
Minimum Value icon Min Value Sets the parameter to its minimum value.
Maximum Value icon Max Value Sets the parameter to its maximum value.

Note: If the minimum and maximum values differ from the minimum and maximum values documented in a device’s manual, an engineer may have used CIT to configure minimum and maximum values specifically for the vehicle system.
