Programming Guide
•
Online devices are indicated by a glowing light bulb next to the device ID.
- An online device is a logical device for which a physical device exists, which the
ISD Toolbox is currently connected to.
- The color indicates the state of the device and is device–specific.
•
Offline devices are indicated by a gray light bulb next to the device ID.
- An offline device is a logical device without a corresponding physical device. An
offline device can represent a saved device configuration or state, for example for
offline analysis or troubleshooting. It also contains pre-configured parameter
values to be written to a physical device.
Each sub-tool opens in a separate window within the workspace. It is possible to open
multiple sub-tools that can communicate with a device simultaneously without affecting each
other. Depending on the device type, different sub-tools are available. See chapter 5.7 Sub-
Tools for further information.
A sub-tool is opened by double-clicking the left mouse button on its name in the Device
Environment, or by selecting the entry and pressing the Enter key on the keyboard.
The Device Environment section of the Main Window lists all logical devices managed by the
ISD Toolbox, visualizes their states, and serves as the user interface for accessing the device
functionalities.
The Device Environment window lists all available sub-tools for each added device.
See chapter 5.5.2 Device Environment Window for further information.
This is the space for hosting the sub-tools and its size depends on the Main Window size. The
sub-tools can be maximized, minimized, horizontally or vertically aligned, or cascaded.
Evaluates the parameter values of 1 or more devices by cyclically reading them from the
devices. Allows parameter values to be logged and saved to a text file. It is also possible to
modify/write values in the watchlist.
Shows operating information, warnings, and errors. Depending on the user settings, it shows
messages of up to 3 different logging levels (high, medium, and low). Used for showing
advanced error and warning information.
Shows the communication state of the ISD Toolbox. If connected to a network, it shows the
used hardware interface (for example, network adapter) and the network name.
