Devices in the Project

The “Devices in the Project” area shows the device to which the configuration in the workspace refers. In a project, exactly one head station is configured.

Device information, connection and status information, as well as a button for establishing or disconnecting the connection related to the respective device are displayed. The information displayed for devices that are connected online may be more extensive than for devices that are offline.

Devices can be renamed, deleted or reconfigured with a different firmware from the context menu.
