FAQ Offline Setup
64 bit UNM Unsigned Numeric Signals
Q1: I would like to setup a 64 bit UNM Unsigned Numeric signal as defined for my system. But there
are maximal 32 bit adjustable for Unsigned Numeric signals.
A1: CAT does not support 64 bit UNM Unsigned Numeric signals but there is an easy workaround.
Setup this particular signals as BCD (packed binary coded) signals. So you can display them with
hexadecimal values. To display 64 bit UNM Unsigned Numeric signals with decimal values is not
possible.
Saving of sessions
Q2: I tried to save the session, but I couldn't find a SAVE command, instead I used the menu item
"SAVE AS..." and found after executing the "SAVE AS..." command several times multiple equally
named sessions.
A2: You never have to save any of your sessions. As soon as you click on OK of a dialog window, the
last settings are stored immediately. The "SAVE AS..." command is used as in any other MS
application, e.g. word. But: The currently opened session can be saved again under same name. You can
stay with the same session name or change it. The currently open session will not overwrite the old one,
even if the old and current one have the same name. (This allows to exchange sessions even with the
same name.) See Session Management in the Online Help for details.
