Removing automatically assigned control aliases
In versions of NWare prior to 1.7.0b, all generic controls in a project were assigned alias
names automatically when the project was deployed or emulated. This meant that when
control aliases from a large project were listed out using a protocol like RATC, there could be
hundreds of returned values.
You can use a feature in NWare to remove all the automatically assigned aliases (starting with
X or ~) from the entire project. Only aliases you have assigned manually to controls will be
retained.
Note: There is no way to retrieve these aliases once removed.
To remove automatically assigned control aliases
On the Tools menu, click Clean Project.
Configuration and testing
TCP/IP and serial control services are configured in the properties of the NioNodes, nControl
and nTouch 180 nodes in the NWare project.
You can test external control via TCP/IP and serial connections using the NWare Emulator.
Note: If you have enabled external control on more than one node, this may generate port
conflict errors, as each emulated node shares the same ports on the NWare PC. As a
workaround, while you are testing your project, change the TCP/IP or serial (COM) port
numbers so that each node uses a different port number.
