Figure 4.3: Additional DTM information
The Device Catalogue allows the installation of new GSDML files into the
GSDML directory for the Generic IO Device DTM. Selecting the Install Device
Description Files... button displays the standard Windows File selection
window. After selecting the GSDML file, and clicking the Open button in the
File selection window, the GSDML file will be copied to the GSDML file
directory under CX-ConfiguratorFDT.
After copying the GSDML file, a warning window will be displayed, indicating
that the Device Catalogue needs to be updated. To update the Device
Catalogue select the Yes button in the warning window.
1 Updating the Device Catalogue after copying the GSDML file can only be done if
there is a new project opened, with no DTMs allocated to the network in order to
prevent corruption of an existing network in case a GSDML file is removed or
replaced.
2 The Install Device Description Files... option allows installation of more than
one file at the same time.
If a new DTM has been installed, it will not automatically be included in the
Device Catalogue. To add newly installed DTMs to the list, the Device
Catalogue must be updated by clicking the Update button at the bottom of the
Device Catalogue window.
Updating the Device Catalogue may take some time, depending on the
number of DTMs installed. A dialogue window with a progress bar will be
shown during the update process. After updating the Device Catalogue, the
list is stored on hard disk. The next time CX-ConfiguratorFDT is started the
updated list will be used.
