2. Enter the following information for the device.

Device Name

Enter the name of the device. This name must be unique within the
currently displayed subsystem. The device name may be up to 85
characters and it may include embedded spaces; however, the name
may not include period, backslash, colon, forward slash, or double
quote characters.

The default device name is the abbreviated device SmartShape
name followed by a dash, a space, and the instance number “1”.
The instance number in the default device name is incremented one
for each subsequent device of that type you create. For example,
the default device name of the first analog input device you create
is “AI- 1”, the second is “AI- 2”, and so on.

You can change this default naming convention by clicking
Add-ins, clicking IzoT Commissioning Tool, clicking IzoT
Commissioning Tool Options
, and then selecting Naming from
the Options Category list. See Naming Options in Appendix A for
information on how to use the options on this page to change the
default naming convention.

Number of Devices to
Create

Select the number of devices to be created. If you create more than
one device, IzoT Commissioning Tool will automatically increment
the instance number in the default names of the additional devices
and place them on the drawing adjacent to the first SmartShape. If
the device name does not contain an instance number at the end,
IzoT Commissioning Tool will append the instance number 1 to the
second device (for example, “Device” for the first device becomes
“Device 1” for the second device), and it will increment the
instance number for additional devices.

Commission Device

Select this check box to commission the device after defining it.
This option is disabled if you are creating more than one device.
