Navigator Window
The Navigator window displays the area, zones, configurations, and components in a hierarchal
fashion that lets you check their status as a whole. When editing offline, you can click an area
name, zone name, or configuration name to make that window active. Clicking a component name
will open the component editor window for that component.
■
Resource Meter Window
This window provides an indication of component usage for each DME unit currently placed in the
Configuration window. The usage percentage increases as the number of components increases. The
component usage percentage is shown in graph form for each DME unit.
The window appears simultaneously with the designer window, and can be used as a component
usage guide while creating configurations. The sampling frequency for each DME unit is also
displayed. Please note that the sampling frequency of the DME unit itself will also affect the usage
percentage.

Objects and Components
“
Object
” is the name for the parts that are arranged in the various design windows, such as the
Area, Zone, Configuration, and User Module windows. Objects are always laid out in the Toolkit
window. Only the appropriate objects for each window are displayed. The blocks displayed at the
higher level of the Toolkit window in particular are called “
components
.” This refers to each type of
processor that operates the DME. “Object” normally refers to Picture, Text, Ellipse and other items
that are used after connecting them by wire to the various components.
Component Editor
The blocks that are arranged in the configuration window are called “
components
.” When you
double-click on a component block arranged in the Configuration window, the Component Editor
window will open. There you can edit the parameters for that component. The types of parameters
displayed will differ, depending on the component.
NOTE
This window is not displayed for SP2060 units.
