can be monitored and the configuration of the system can be read out.
DEX can be started either by entering dex to the command line, e.g.:
C:\dex
or by using the Run command (Start -> Run), then entering dex into the Open line and clicking OK.
When DEX starts it shows by default the component view, as shown in the figure below.
DEX provides two different views on the properties of the system: Component View and Channel View. To switch
between these two views click on View in the menu bar and select Options. The DEX – Options dialog appears.
There you can select either Component or Channel View.
On this dialog also the synchronization mode can be selected. By default Async. Update is not selected. This
means that the system properties are read once and are not updated while the DEX is running. To regularly syn-
chronize (every 5 seconds) the values, select the Async. Update checkbox.
