Only the white columns are editable. The grey columns are non-editable.
All the tables from the protocol configuration are shown in the notebook. You can
have more than one notebook page. How many you have is defined in the protocol
image by the advanced users.
Each table has two column groups: general columns and protocol specific attributes.
The first group contains fictive data which is not present in the POD table inside the
relay. This data is used only for description of the signals and arranging them in a
user-friendly way. The second group represents real data which can be uploaded and
downloaded from and to the relay.
The general group always includes three columns. The general group columns are:
• Signal name
• Signal state
• Identification
The identification column is meant for the user. In this column, the user can write
own signal names as identification for the different signals in the protocol table.
