The Connected device roles panel is used to manage the list of roles that can be performed by connected devices. These devices connect to the device controlled by this software module.
Data grid columns:
Name indicates the role of the connected device.
Software module denotes the software module.
Internal name is the internal name of the connected device role.
Description is a description of the connected device role.
Header designates the header of the selection box located on the connected devices panel or in the connected device editor window.
Panel header is the header displayed on the connected devices panel in the device editor window.
Index determines the sequence in which connected device panels or fields are displayed in the editor window.
Unique indicates whether the main (unique) connected device is specified.
Required shows whether the connected device role is required for the primary device operation.
The context menu of the Connected device roles panel contains the following commands:
(Ins) – adds a connected device role to the software module specification.
(F2) – edits or displays attributes of connected device roles.
(Del) – permanently deletes connected device roles.
(Ctrl+P) – generates print layouts.
– menu with the commands to manage the summary functions of the data grid.
– menu with the commands to operate the data grid.
To add a new connected device role to the Connected device roles panel data grid, use the entry window. To edit attributes of connected device roles, use the and editor windows.
When you delete connected device roles from the data grid on the Supported functionality panel, a confirm permanent deletion prompt appears.
Information from the connected device roles specification is used when generating additional panels in the window.
The window has a separate panel for each individual panel header specified in the software module connected device roles specification. For unique connected device roles, these panels display selection boxes. If a role is unique, the primary device can have only one connected device that plays this role. For non-unique roles, the panels display data grids. Non-unique roles allow you to create a specification of devices that play this role.
