Control Windows and Device Parameters
To control device parameters, double-click the device in the navigation pane to display the control window for that device. Or right-click the device and select Show Control window from the pop-up menu.
The device name is listed along the top of each control window along with the “status icon” for the device. Icons in the upper left corner of the control window (again depending on the device type) provide a quick status indicator of key parameters such as the Operational or Test Mode, Input Status, or Reference Status. This is called the “status dashboard”.
On each control window, there are different selector tabs that correspond to different groups of parameters for each device. When working with control windows, you begin by selecting the tab to display the parameters for a particular group (

NOTE: If you try to display the control window for a device and you get the message Control window Not Available, this means that this device type has not been implemented as a controllable device by iControl. Therefore, you can only see the status of this device but cannot configure any control parameters. |
When one or more Control windows are open, the View menu item Close All Control windows becomes available, and the menu lists the device names of open control windows for selection.
Each device in the system is controlled via a control window. The control window is an operational window for the selected device, which you display to control the device. Parameters vary according to the type of device, although the Info parameters are common to all devices.
To access the control window for a device, double-click the device in the iC Navigator display, or right click and select Show Control window from the pop-up menu.
