Introduction |
The Device Editor and Navigator is the entry panel of the Framework. Most of the Framework functionality is available navigating from it. The user can work in two modes, Editor and Navigator. The Editor mode is meant to create/remove and configure the required devices inside PVSS. Once they are configured, then the user can switch to Navigator mode to do basic operations to setup device specific parameters. |

Instructions | The panel is organized in three tabs (Hardware, Logical, FSM) reflecting the steps necessary to configure the necessary for your application. Each tab has two different working modes: Editor and Navigator. 1. Hardware View (Figure 1): The first step when creating your
application is to instantiate and set up inside PVSS the representation
of the devices you are using (e.g. high voltage crates, temperature
sensors, etc). This is done in the Hardware View. In this view the
devices are organized in vendor nodes (e.g. CAEN,
Wiener). The following actions are available when right clicking
in the tree in Editor mode (for more details go to the help of the
specific panel):
At the system level node the
following options are available:
2. Logical View (Figure 2):
After the hardware representation
has been created, one can move to the organization of devices in
logical units. This is done in the Logical and FSM views. In the
Logical view be can group devices at a low level to build units that
will be used afterwards in the FSM hierarchy. The following
actions are available when right clicking in the tree in
Editor mode (for more details go to the help of the specific panel):
some of these actions might be
disabled depending on the type of the selected device. At the system
level node the
following options are available:
Here is where you can add
behaviour to the devices in the Hardware and Logical views. For more
details on how to use it you can have a look in the home page of the
fwFSM component fwFSM.
