Menus and dialog boxes in SIMATIC PDM
8
8.1
"File" menu
The menus and dialog boxes can contain other device-specific menu commands.
If a device is opened twice, for example, by opening the higher-level network and by opening
it directly, device-specific functions are grayed out in the second window and can only be
accessed in the window that was opened first.
Note
Device-specific menu items and help for these menu items are derived from the device
description assigned to the object. You will find device-specific information in the online help
and in the documentation provided by the device manufacturer. The PDF file associated with
this documentation does not contain any device-specific information.
