You can use the information gathered, for example, to later search through the detailed
summary of the device catalog "ListOfIntegratedDevices" to find the right EDD version for
your device. You can find this list on the device catalog CD in the "Manuals" folder.
Collecting the data has two advantages:
● You can compare the EDD versions specified in the "ListOfIntegratedDevices" catalog
with those used in your project.
● Then you only have to import the EDD files required to operate your devices.
