Working With Accessories
Many AMX devices support various optional accessories, such as power supplies, cables, rack-mount
kits, etc.
VA (v1.1) allows you to include accessories in your project by associating the accessories you want with
a particular system device, via the Accessories dialog.
Note that unlike system devices, accessories are not visually represented in the System Diagram, but
they are included in the System Report (in the Accessory List section).
To add accessories to an AMX device in the System Diagram:
1. Right-click on any AMX device in the System Diagram, and select Accessories from the context
menu.
Alternatively, you can select an AMX device in the System Diagram and select Accessories from
the Device Menu. This opens the Accessories dialog. The Accessories dialog lists all accessories
associated with the selected device.
2. To add an accessory to this device, double-click on any accessory in the list to open the Quantity
dialog.
If the selected device does not support any accessories, the Accessories option is
disabled.
