6.5.1 General

Subwindow devices

The subwindow

Devices

contains the Device table with all automatically recog-

nized and manually added devices and is always shown in the program part Con-

figuration, i.e. it cannot be removed from the Configuration view. The subwindow
can be enlarged and diminished as required; it can also be maximized.

USB devices

Devices connected to the PC via USB (e.g. Titrando) are automatically recognized
at the start of the program and entered in Device table. If the connection between
PC and device or the current 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 recog-

nized by its serial number and again assigned to the existing device entries. The
status will change to

ok

.

Peripheral devices of USB devices

Peripheral devices connected to USB devices (e.g. dosing devices, stirrers, etc.)

are also recognized automatically. If they are connected or removed while a pro-
gram is running then, after confirming a corresponding message, either the USB
connection must be interrupted and then re-established or tiamo must be re-
started.

RS232 devices

Devices that are connected to the PC via an RS232 interface will not be recog-

nized automatically. They must be added manually to the device table as new de-
vices. If the connection between PC and device or if the current supply is inter-
rupted, the device will nevertheless remain in the device table with the status

ok

. In

order to update the status to

not ok

, the properties window of the device must be

opened and then closed again. The same applies when the device is connected

again or switched on.
