Section 4. Setting up Datalogger Networks
4.3.10 Arranging Screen Components
The Network Planner user interface has been designed so that you can exercise
a great deal of control over the placement and sizes of the various user
interface components. User interface components including the toolbar, the
Device Palette, the Station Summary, and the Configure Devices panel can be
detached from the application frame, re-anchored to the frame in a different
location, resized, or hidden altogether.
Once a component is detached from the application frame, it will be shown in a
separate window that can be moved to any location on your desktop. This
feature is particularly valuable where more than one monitor is available since
it allows the drawing canvas to occupy one monitor and the other components
to be arranged on the other thus maximizing the space available for viewing the
network. It should be noted, however, that a user interface component, once
detached from the application frame, will “float” over the frame when the
windows overlap.
A detached component can be re-attached, or “docked”, to the frame by
dragging that component’s title bar over the top of the frame borders or the
borders of other docked components. When the component is dragged over one
of these boundaries, a blue rectangle will be drawn showing the boundaries of
that component if the mouse button is released in that position. When the
component is docked thus, the size of the drawing canvas may be reduced in
order to accommodate the component. A docked component can be resized by
dragging on either its right or bottom borders. Doing this will also affect the
size of the drawing canvas.
The Network Planner will “remember” the layout of components between
sessions by storing the layout information in the application’s INI file. This
layout will remain constant as different models are loaded.
The View menu can be used to show or hide various user interface components
including the toolbar. It also includes an entry, Restore Default View, that can
be used to restore the application layout to the “standard” layout.
4.4 Device Configuration Utility
The Device Configuration is used to set up PakBus information in PakBus-
capable dataloggers and to configure peripheral communication devices. Refer
to Section 10, Utilities Installed with LoggerNet, for information on the Device
Configuration Utility.
