Clicking on this button closes the

window.
Settings or parameters which have
been changed in the window are
not saved.
Note:
If the VMS/FMS or ETAMATIC is disconnected from the PC while the software is in
setup mode, the operating mode changes to STOP after the monitoring time has
expired (time-out). The monitoring time (time-out) can be set using the parameter 828.
