Devices and places
Browse and edit buildings, rooms, areas, lines, devices, parameters and group object links.
The application
One page for each section of the Tinkerbus desktop application.
The navigation rail on the left has three groups. Project sections need an open project.
| Group | Section | Page |
|---|---|---|
| Project | Devices & places | Devices and places |
| Network | Network | |
| Group addresses | Group addresses | |
| Reports | Reports | |
| Compare | Compare | |
| Library | Catalog | Catalog |
| Bus | Diagnostics | Diagnostics |
| Programming | Programming |
Other parts of the window:
- Telegram monitor, the drawer at the bottom
- Search and shortcuts, Ctrl+K
- Saving and the list of changes
- Reports to the project, for a missing product or a device that cannot be programmed yet
- Routing preview, a tab of line and area couplers
Every change you make to a project is kept in memory until you save it. Save, Undo and Redo are in the top bar. Nothing is sent to a device from the project sections, except when you use the Program and On the bus tabs of a device, which are described in Programming and Diagnostics.
