Device / Card
All information regarding a device is encapsulated within the device object. This is encapsulated with a <card> tag in the XML representation. Each node in the DashBoard tree is treated as an independent device object. The device object contains a list of parameters and menu-groups.
Each device node in the DashBoard tree has a unique node-id. This node-id is used by DashBoard to reference parameters from multiple devices within the same client interface. The node-id can be determined by selecting the node in the DashBoard tree and selecting “View Connection Information” from the context menu.
