Subwindow: Configuration ▶ Devices
Devices subwindow
The Devices subwindow contains the device table with all automatically
recognized and manually added devices and is always shown in the Con-
figuration program part, i.e., it cannot be removed from the configura-
tion view. The subwindow can be enlarged and reduced as required; it
can also be maximized.
USB devices
Devices connected to the PC via USB are automatically recognized when
the program starts and are entered in the device table. If the connection
between the PC and the device or the power supply is interrupted, then
the device will remain in the device table with the status not ok. If it is
reconnected, then it will be recognized automatically by its serial number
and assigned to the existing device entry again. This causes the status to
change to ok.
Peripheral devices of USB devices
Peripheral devices connected to USB devices (dosing device, Remote Box,
etc.) are also recognized automatically, but they are not listed in the
device table as separate devices. If they are connected or removed while a
program is running, a corresponding message must be confirmed and
then either the USB device must be reinitialized, the USB connection inter-
rupted and then re-established, or the program must be restarted.
RS-232 devices
Devices that are connected to the PC via an RS-232 interface will not be
recognized automatically. They must be added manually to the device
table as new devices. If the connection between the PC and device is
interrupted or the device is switched off, the device will nevertheless
remain in the device table with ok. In order to update the status to not
ok, the properties window of the device must be opened and closed
again. The same applies when the device is connected again or switched
on.
