Solution

The parameter can still be programmed with the CAT ET versions listed above. Perform the following procedure in order to program the PPM parameter:

1. Enter the desired value.

2. Record the displayed value that was returned by CAT ET.

3. Enter the value that was recorded in Step 2. CAT ET will correctly program the desired value. CAT ET will correctly display the desired value.

This problem will be resolved with the release of version 2006B v1.0 for CAT ET.
