Appendix B: Using the Configurator
• Del - deletes the currently selected group. Delete will not succeed if the groups has
member nodes or if there are Common Controls that refer to it.
• Right Arrow - the Node whose details are currently being displayed becomes a member
of the selected, available group.
• Left Arrow - the Node whose details are currently being displayed is removed from the
selected group.
Differences Mode / Differences Report
Introduction
The configurator has the capability of comparing two jobs. Once differences mode is entered
the job tree shows which elements have been added, removed or changed. The list views
show in more detail which items have been modified or whether correlations have been added
or removed.
In differences mode a report can be printed. The scope and depth of the print report can be
chosen, similar to when printing a single job.
The differences report is intended primarily to provide the authorities with a detailed list of what
has (and what has not) been changed. Such a report can used to justify only minor re-testing
of an installation.
Primary vs. Secondary Job
In this document we will refer to Primary and Secondary jobs. The primary is normally the
older job, currently in service. It is the base against which the secondary job - the newer,
modified job - is to be compared.
You will normally first establish the primary job by opening it using the Job Menu and choosing
the desired Job and Version. Then you will invoke differences mode, where the secondary job
is chosen.
This document occasionally refers to items that have been added or deleted. These terms are
used with respect to the primary - assuming that the primary is the older job. There is nothing
to prevent you from reversing this convention and establishing a newer job as the primary.
Initiating Differences Mode
Differences mode can be initiated either by selecting Compare Job Version from the Job
Menu, or by clicking the Differences icon in the tool bar.
When you initiate Job Compare, the Job Compare Dialog is displayed.
Press OK to enter differences mode. This can take several minutes, as the program examines
every component of each job and decides if it is added, removed or changed. Correlations are
also compared during this phase. A changed correlation is reflected not only in the correlations
list, but is propagated (as a modification) up to the device or circuit list and from there to the
Device Loop in the job tree. A dialog is displayed to inform the user of the progress of
difference reporting and to allow the action to be canceled. If you cancel, the display reverts to
the primary job, in normal mode.
Interpreting the results
When the comparisons have all been made, the jobs are presented as one job tree. See
below.
