UM2468
Port Configuration
Figure 26. Port Configuration window
The PD Settings and VDM SOP tabs display the configuration parameters of the selected port.
The SRC capabilities panel displays the source PDO configured on this port.
The SINK capabilities panel displays the sink PDO configured on this port.
4.6.2 Button bar details
The Button bar (see figure below) provides the following actions:
• The EXPORT button is used to save the current configuration in a text file.
• The IMPORT button is used to upload a saved configuration.
• The SEND TO TARGET button saves the parameter modified from the user interface on the board. In this
case, the saving is done only in RAM memory. It means that, after reset or board disconnection, the updates
are lost.
• The SAVE ALL IN TARGET button saves the parameter modified from the user interface on the board as the
SEND TO TARGET button, but this action saves also these updates in the Flash memory. It means that,
after reset or board disconnection, the updates are kept.
• The RESTORE VALUES button restores the values displayed in the user interface as they are on the board.
Figure 27. Button bar
UM2468 - Rev 2
page 22/37
Because the Port Configuration window contains four tabs on which parameter update can be performed, the
actions SAVE IN TARGET, SEND TO TARGET or RESTORE VALUES can be applied to the four tabs in the
same time (ALL TABS), or only for the tab displayed in the user interface (CURRENT TAB).
4.6.3 Modify the configuration - Update parameter presentation
The default view is shown in the figure below.
