The Parameters tool can be used to view or change most of the drive's parameters.
1. Click the Parameters icon in the Toolbox on the left of the screen. The main area
o
f the Mint WorkBench window displays the Parameters editor screen.
Items listed with a grey
icon are read only so cannot be changed.
Items listed with a green

Items listed with a yellow icon have been changed from their factory default
value, either during the commissioni
ng process or by the user.
2. In the parameters tree, scroll to the required
item. Click on the small + sign beside
the item's name. The list expands to show all items in the category. Click on the
item you wish to edit.
3. The adjacent table lists the chosen item. Click in the Active Table cell and enter a
va

becomes yellow to indicate that the value has been changed. On the menu,
choose Tools, Store Drive Parameters to ensure the value remains after a power
cycle.
Many of the MicroFlex e190's parameters are set automatically by the
C
ommissioning Wizard, or when tests are performed in the Fine-tuning window.
