Tab "Basic Configuration"
This tab is structured into the parts "General", "Info", "NMT", "Heartbeat",
"Node Guarding" and "Advanced".
The part "Info" shows information about the manufacturer and the device.
The part "Endpoint configuration" is only visible if the CAN slave has inputs
and outputs.
If NMT mode is set to "System", the parts "NMT" and "Hearbeat" appear.
By activating "Expert settings", the part "Node Guarding" appears, in which
the node guarding can be configured.
For normal operation the parameters of the area "Advanced" need not to be
changed.
