Configuring Devices
This chapter assumes that you have just completed the operation in the previous chapter. If
not, quickly go through it again, in order to set up the True Loop Emulator system in the way
that this chapter expects.
It still assumes that the Interface is not yet connected to the computer, so ensure the serial
cable is disconnected from the PC at this point.
Opening Configuration Data
Click on the Open button to display the Open Configuration Data dialogue box.
NOTE: The Open button has a different function if the Event Record or Script pages are
displayed. In this case, entries on the File menu can be used to open configuration
data.
Choose the file name that was used at the end of the previous chapter and open the data.
This will put devices in address positions as specified by the file. All devices are set to
‘Normal’.
Working with More than One Device at a Time
Click on the Pointer button (white arrow) if it is not already depressed.
Now click on address position 1. While holding down the Ctrl key, click on address
positions 3 and 5. Note that all three address positions have a dark blue outline that
indicates they are ‘selected’ simultaneously.
Now click on a device button to change the mouse pointer to a device. Use this to click in
one of the addresses 1, 3 or 5. Note how all of the selected addresses now contain the
device.
Applying an operation to one of the selected address positions automatically applies to it to
the others whenever multiple address positions are selected.
