12.2 Functions in the app window
12.2.1 Upper window area
The upper window area always show the actual and set values, as well as status of one currently selected device from
the device list (blue, single device selection). This window part is identical to the upper window part of app “Terminal”.
Also see 7. App „Terminal“.
12.2.2 Middle window area
The middle part of the window is used to manage groups of devices. Every of the max. 20 devices can be assigned to
any of the four groups, while every group can have a max. of 20 devices. The actual assignment to a group is done in
the device list (see below at “Tab “Devices””). The buttons are used to select devices which are assigned to a particular
group. “Select” here means to put the checkmark next to the devices in column 1 of the device list. It works the same
way the other way round when deselecting groups.
All actions after group selection, like setting status (input/output on/off) or values, are applied to the selected devices
only. It means you can assign different set values to every group. General rules:
 A device from the device list can only be assigned to one of the four group or none
 The group configuration is not stored automatically, but you can do this manually (button “Save config.”) and
then let the software load the last save configuration automatically when opening the app
 Devices, which have been stored in a group configuration but are now disconnected, are listed in the device,
but are greyed out and can be deleted manually or are cleaned up when using button “Show all devices”
Area “Group settings”
Buttons G1 – G4 Select/unselect one or multiple device groups
Button Reset groups Deletes all device assignments to all groups, unselects all groups
Group names The text next to the group buttons, the group name, can be changed to your
custom name when double-clicking on them
Area “Configuration”
Button Save config. Save the current group configuration into a config file (*.ini). Different groups
configs can be loaded and saved this way, while the most recently loaded con-
fig can be loaded automatically at app start-up by ticking the option “Load
config. at app startup”
Button Load config. Loads any formerly save group config file (*.ini) from storage and also set the
most recently loaded file to load for option “Load config. at app startup”
Option Load config at app startup When activated, this option will try to load the most recently saved or loaded
group config file from storage when starting this app, to restore groups
