Equipment Table
Provides an editable table of E Desk™ devices in the system design. Add and Remove can be used to manually
change the hardware design. However, Compile will add devices if needed (but will not automatically remove
unnecessary devices). The Equipment Table may be used to aid system design, by initially specifying desired
hardware configurations. Serial # and Device Description Label appear only when connected to a system, at which
time the Equipment Table becomes 'read-only' information. CN Latency allows the selection of reduced delay times,
which are supported on newer CobraNet firmware versions. The default CobraNet Latency for new DAP files is
5.33mS (see Compile Options). Alternate choices of 2.67mS and 1.33mS are available (see System Network
Considerations). CN Latency affects the creation of new DAP files, as well as the modification and recompilation of
existing files/systems.
An RCB tab at the lower-left of the Equipment Table dialog box provides an editable table of devices connected to
the Remote Control Bus of the E Desk devices in the system design. This table is used to establish proper association
between external physical controls and their corresponding component counterparts in the layout. Each DevID
(control component) should be matched to an appropriate Serial # (physical control). The DevID number can be
found in the right corner of control component objects in the layout, when 'Display Device Assignment in DSP Block
Info Field' is selected from Display Options. Serial # and Device Description information can be found for the
physical controls using Device Maintenance.
