Window appearance
Node size
The main program window can draw the bus topology with two different node sizes. There
are two choices for node size:
•
Small Nodes
: Only the node ID is shown inside the node. This makes the FireViewer™ window
consume less space, making it easier to keep visible all the time.
•
Big Nodes
: The node contains its node ID and speed code or icon.
To switch between the two sizes select
“View | Node size | Small”
or
“View | Node size |
Big”
from the menu.
Ports
Check the
“View | Show Port”
menu item to enable the display of port information. When
this is enabled, then FireViewer™ shows the ports of each node, and the actual connections
between the nodes.
This can be of significant help when you have more than 3-4 PCs on the bus. There comes a
point, when you can’t remember which nodes connect to each other, and you have to trace
the cables around in order to find out where each cable leads to.
Ports are numbered left-to-right. The leftmost port is port 0, the middle one is port 1, and the
rightmost port two. In devices with 1 or 2 ports, only one or two ports are displayed (unless
the device reports differently as some one-port cameras do).
The port that is connected to the parent node is drawn at the top edge of the node’s
rectangle.
There is no line leading to an unconnected port. The FireViewer™ shows the first three ports
of each node, whether they are present or not.
Select again the
“View | Show Port”
menu item to disable the display of port information.
Caption and menu bar
The window can be shown with or without a caption and menu bar. Double-click the left
mouse button inside the window to switch between the two views, or select
“View | Hide title
and menu”
and/or
“View | Show title and menu”
from the menu.
When the window does not have a caption and menu bar, you can move it by clicking with
the left mouse button into the window and dragging it to the desired position. The “View”
menu is accessed via the right mouse button.
When the caption is visible, it shows the number of bus resets that have happened during the
machine’s uptime.
Always on top
Check the
“View | Always on top”
menu item to make the window topmost. If this menu
item is unchecked, you can check the
“View | Foreground on BR”
menu item to have the
window come to the foreground whenever a bus reset takes place.
