A computerized method is disclosed in which an automation device stores, in a parameter storage, application-related parameters, each parameter uniquely identifying a specific automation device application. The automation device also stores, in an application repository, automation device applications as separate computer program entities. The automation device may detect a pre-determined act, performed by a user, the predetermined act comprising the user selecting via a user interface an application-related parameter among the application-related parameters stored in the parameter storage. Based on the detecting, the automation device retrieves, from the application repository to an execution memory, the automation device application corresponding to the selected application-related parameter, wherein the retrieved automation device application is executable from the execution memory, in order to drive the automation device for an application-related purpose.

Storing application information on an automation device

An exemplary apparatus and method are provided in which the apparatus is provided with encoding configuration information as an optical code. The optical code is displayed on a display of the apparatus. The optical code can be read from the display and configuration information derived from the optical code is sent to a database of configured apparatuses.

Encoding configuration information of an apparatus into an optical code

A frequency converter includes a symbol string editor in which the potential input symbols are grouped into at least two symbol lists. One of the lists is treated as a current symbol list, which can be scrolled and from which the symbols can be selected as the user input. In addition, a user is allowed to control change of the current symbol list such that the symbols in all of the symbol lists are available for selection. This arrangement allows for scrollable lists to be significantly shorter than a single list of potential symbols would be, which makes entering symbol strings faster.
