A measures plan for the selected system/module is displayed.

A measures plan identifies the programmed part number for the control module(s) installed:

"New part no. progr. ctrl. mod." - indicates the p/n if the module is updated, by accepting the displayed measures plan the module will be updated to the new number and software.
