Object Property Sheet
Both Display and DSP Attributes are shown for
component objects.
Most Display Attributes duplicate functions found
in the Format Toolbar. However, some exceptions
are as follows:
Object Code is a non-editable identifier. Left, Top,
Width, & Height specify object location and size
(in pixels). Layer determines which layer the
component is assigned to. Tag is for user comments
or other identifying text.
Most DSP Attributes duplicate functions found in
the individual component Control Dialog boxes (see
Component Object Properties). However, some
exceptions are as follows:
Allocated To Unit assigns the component (DSP
block) to a particular unit in the system. Allocated
To Gang assigns multiple components (DSP
blocks) to a common 'gang', forcing them to be
grouped into the same unit. Fixed In Unit prevents
changes to Allocated To Unit and Allocated To
Gang. Instance ID is the system-wide identifier
number for the component (DSP block). Password
Level selects either Designer or Technician access
level, for individual components. Delay
Equalization turns on/off compensation for
propagation delay (Input Output components only).
Internal Propagation Delay determines Delay
Equalization for third-party converters (CobraNet
I/O components only). See System Compiling
Considerations. Channel Identifier allows labeling
of the individual inputs/outputs on a component.
This labeling appears only when the cusor is over
the associated node.
The thumb-tack (upper-left) allows the Property
Sheet to remain open while selecting other objects.
1By1 (upper-right) allows any group of selected
components (multi-selection) to appear on the menu.
