3 Online/oine status and state
information
•
Online devices are indicated by a glowing light bulb next to the device ID.
- An online device is a logical device for which a physical device exists, which the
ISD Toolbox is currently connected to.
- The color indicates the state of the device and is device–specic.
•
Oine devices are indicated by a gray light bulb next to the device ID.
- An oine device is a logical device without a corresponding physical device. An
oine device can represent a saved device conguration or state, for example for
oine analysis or troubleshooting. It also contains pre-congured parameter
values to be written to a physical device.
4 Available sub-tools Each sub-tool opens in a separate window within the workspace. It is possible to open
multiple sub-tools that can communicate with a device simultaneously without aecting each
other. Depending on the device type, dierent sub-tools are available. See chapter 5.7 Sub-
Tools for further information.
A sub-tool is opened by double-clicking the left mouse button on its name in the Device
Environment, or by selecting the entry and pressing the Enter key on the keyboard.
5 Device environment The Device Environment section of the Main Window lists all logical devices managed by the
ISD Toolbox, visualizes their states, and serves as the user interface for accessing the device
functionalities.
The Device Environment window lists all available sub-tools for each added device.
See chapter 5.5.2 Device Environment Window for further information.
6 Workspace This is the space for hosting the sub-tools and its size depends on the Main Window size. The
sub-tools can be maximized, minimized, horizontally or vertically aligned, or cascaded.
7 Watchlist window Evaluates the parameter values of 1 or more devices by cyclically reading them from the
devices. Allows parameter values to be logged and saved to a text le. It is also possible to
modify/write values in the watchlist.
8 Output window Shows operating information, warnings, and errors. Depending on the user settings, it shows
messages of up to 3 dierent logging levels (high, medium, and low). Used for showing
advanced error and warning information.
9 Status strip Shows the communication state of the ISD Toolbox. If connected to a network, it shows the
used hardware interface (for example, network adapter) and the network name.
