sheets are accessed by double-clicking on a controller icon in the Storage Window or right
clicking on the icon and selecting Properties. Property sheets are tabbed. To access a sheet,
click its tab.
Changes in all fields causes a controller restart to place the changes in effect. The program
prompts you for confirmation before it restarts your controller.
NOTE: After you change a parameter that causes a controller restart, there is approximately a
90-second delay while the controller reinitializes.
