Click on "Modify Group (Show Devices)". This will open a separate show device viewer
window.
Figure 3-10: Device Group
If any modifications are done to the device group, then they will be saved with the BSD.
Note that it is possible to modify a device group to a point where its children look
nothing like the original device.
3.3.4 Shell Automation Commands for Device Groups
The shell automation commands that are used for a device also work for a device group.
For example, shell.KnownDevices lists all known devices (both device libraries and
device groups). For example, a device group exposes ports and connections, so
“
shell.AvailablePorts
” and “
shell.Connect
” etc. work with a device (regardless of
whether it's a group or a library).
3.3.4.1 Device Tree
You can optionally reference a device in the parent and child grouping device tree, using
the syntax separator "
-> " between device parent and child, and " -> Machine #1 " as
the root device. Here are some examples, using a machine and platform that just has two
"
4 core Node " devices...

"4 core Node #0"
"4 core Node #1"
1 simnow> shell.CreatedDevices "-> Machine #1"
"4 core Node #0"
"4 core Node #1"
