Command button
Displays the name of a command that you can initiate. Some
commands are sent immediately after you initiate them by
releasing the command button. Others require you to enter
arguments before they can be sent. When a command requires
arguments (additional fields requiring information to continue with
the command), the property row will expand after you click the
command button. You then complete the additional fields and
click the appropriate button (Send, Command, Change, Ack, and
so on).
Some object properties support grouping of command buttons
that occupy the space of one button, with a drop-down list of your
choices. The button you choose from the drop-down list becomes
the new commandable button in the group.
5
Parameter
When you initiate a command that requires additional
parameters, the system prompts you to enter one or more
parameters prior to sending the command. You must complete all
required parameters before sending the command. A parameter
field that displays a red border around it means that the value for
that property is invalid. If that is the case, you will need to enter a
valid value before commanding the property.
6
Command Feedback
area
Displays the progress and then the result of a command once
you execute a command. During the command, the Command
Feedback area displays Command in Progress, along with
information about how many objects have been commanded and
how many will be commanded all together. After a command
execution is complete, successful commands display Property
Name successful. Failed commands display Command
failed.
7
Send button
The Send button displays only for commands that require
additional arguments. Clicking this button sends a command after
you have entered all required arguments.
