Panel Configuration - Overview

For each control panel Utah Scientific manufactures, there is a corresponding editor that assists by quickly and correctly configuring the layout and operation of that panel. When the user right clicks on a panel and presses the Configure button, an editor of the device’s type is started and is made available on the editor tab (at the bottom of the work window.) The configuration data is retrieved from the Datastore for the device, while the editor is initialized with that data. The editor is then ready for new configuration data.

• Each editor has an OK and Cancel button in the top right corner of the editor screen. The OK button allows the configuration in the editor to be sent to the Datastore for the device, then closes the editor. The Cancel button closes the editor without saving the data in the editor, basically leaving the panel configuration as it was before the edit session. Other tabs on the bottom of the screen can be selected so the user can view other editors, although the panel editors are kept active while other views are viewed. The only way to save or cancel data is by using the buttons provided. No data will be saved without the OK button being pressed.
