Although a somewhat more labor intensive process than AutoPlan, adding devices manual-

ly can prove useful in some situations. One situation is where the equipment has yet to be

installed. Under these circumstances, you are still able to manually build a plan with no

hardware connected. The plan can be as detailed as desired, complete with logically named

devices, organized groups, control settings, and even snapshots. When complete save the

plan to disk and copy it to the system’s PC.

6.4 Saving The Plan

As with any computer program, save your work often especially when making extensive

changes. To save your plan, just choose Plan | Save from the menu.

To save a plan under a different name (or to create a copy of the current one,) choose Plan

| Save As.

6.5 Plan Inventory

The Plan Inventory shows all of the devices that are part of the plan, including any device

added manually or by AutoPlan. The Plan Inventory categorizes devices by type. Within a

category, devices are sorted by their bus address.

You can open the Plan Inventory window by selecting Plan | Device Inventory or by press-

ing one of the Plan Inventory toolbar buttons. The basic plan inventory window shows all

devices in the plan. Limited views of speciﬁc types are also available.
