General Object Editing Activities - ICC ETH-1000 Instruction Manual

ICC
can be enabled via View...Diagnostics. When an online device is selected,
diagnostics information is updated from the device in real-time. Individual
diagnostics objects can be selected by clicking on them in the list, and multiple
items can be selected by either <CTRL>+clicking on them (to select them
individually) or <SHIFT>+clicking on them (to select a range of items). Counter
values of all currently-selected diagnostics objects can be reset by clicking the
Reset Selected Counters button.
General Configuration Process
To configure a device, add the desired protocols for the various ports, configure
the communication settings (baud rate, parity, address, timeout, and scan
rate/response delay etc.), and configure any objects associated with the
respective protocols. Regardless of whether configuration changes are made to
an online or offline device, those changes will only take effect once the
configuration is downloaded to a device.
Note that numeric values can be entered not only in decimal but also in
hexadecimal by including "0x" before the hexadecimal number.

8.2 General Object Editing Activities

The following editing activities apply for all types of configuration objects and
project elements.
Adding an Object
To add an object, click on an item (protocol driver or Node, for example) in the
Project panel. Any available objects for that item will be listed in the Available
Objects panel (the panel title depends on the currently-selected item). An object
can then be added to the item by:
•
Double-clicking on it.
•
Right-clicking on it and choosing Add from the context-sensitive menu.
•
Hitting the <ENTER> key on the keyboard when the object is selected.
•
Dragging it into the Project panel.
The object's configurable fields can then be populated with valid values (where
applicable).
Viewing an Object
In the Project panel, select a parent object to display a summary of all its child
objects. For example, selecting a protocol driver will display the driver's
configuration in the Summary panel and list of current objects in the Object List
panel.
Updating an Object
To update an object, select the object in the Project panel and make any
required changes in the Settings panel.
