its associated property information is then displayed in a mouse-over popup dialog when the cursor
hovers over the physical device ID.
Each entry in the table has one of four values appear within the far right of the Manage Device Bindings
page (FIG. 66).
Static bound
application devices
will either be
blank
or display a
Release
button.
- Static application devices that have not yet detected a physical device attached to
their associated port are left
blank
. Once a physical device is detected and
its associated Duet module has been started, a
Release
button is then displayed.
- By selecting
Release
, the administrator is forcing the associated Duet module to
be destroyed and the firmware then returns to detecting any physical devices
attached to the port.
Dynamic application devices
either display a
Bind
or
Unbind
button.
- Dynamic application devices that have been bound display an
Unbind
button. When
the user selects
Unbind
, any associated Duet module is then destroyed and the
"link" between the application device and the physical device is then broken.
- Dynamic application devices that have not been bound to a physical device display
a
Bind
button. When this button is selected, a secondary display appears with a
listing of all available unbound physical devices that match the application device's
Device SDK class type (FIG. 67).
- If a currently bound device needs to be replaced or a Duet Module needs to be swapped
out, the device should be unbound and the new module/driver should then be bound.
The administrator/user can then select one of the available physical devices to bind with the
associated application device. When the
Save
button is selected, the binding is created and a
process begins within the target Master to find the appropriate Duet Module driver. Once a
driver is found, the Duet Module is then started and associated with the specified application
device (Duet virtual device). If the
Cancel
button is selected, the binding activity is then
aborted.
- A mouse-over popup dialog is provided to display the properties associated with
each discovered physical device that is listed (FIG. 67).
