Expansion, Networking, Touch Panels and Keypad devices).

menu. Right-click on any device in the Device Tree to access this menu.
If you are in a Navigation diagram (Touch Panel UI tabs), the Controlled third-party

to remove its element from the Touch Panel UI diagram (FIG. 3). This does not remove
the device from the system, just temporarily removes it from the diagram.
