Download Tab
The Download tab shows all the status information for the last
configuration download to the bus. The NI-FBUS Configurator retains this
information until the next download. The Download tab automatically
appears on top when you begin to download your configuration. The status
information on the Download tab can also be read in the log/notes window.
The Download tab is updated only when a configuration is downloaded to
the bus.
Errors Tab
The Errors tab displays all recent I/O errors, project configuration errors,
and warnings in the current project. To fix an error, double-click the error
to open the window showing the cause of the error. For a list of possible
errors, refer to Appendix A,
Error Messages and Warnings .
Use the drop-down list attached to the upper-left corner of the Errors tab
to filter the types of errors shown. The All Errors selection shows all I/O
and project errors, and the Project Errors selection shows only project
errors.
When you download your configuration, the NI-FBUS Configurator
checks for errors in your project. If you have a project error, the
NI-FBUS Configurator warns you and allows you to cancel the download.
The NI-FBUS Configurator automatically regenerates error information
each time you change the project. However, you can force the
NI-FBUS Configurator to revalidate the project by clicking the Check
Project for Errors toolbar button.
Middle Frame
The contents of the middle frame are determined by what you choose to
open there. Double-clicking certain items in the configuration tree causes a
corresponding window to open in the middle frame. The items in the
configuration tree that open a window in the middle frame are Function
Block Application, Schedule, Log/Notes, or any device.
Double-clicking a second item in the configuration tree opens another
window on top of the first window in the middle frame. To retrieve the first
window, you should minimize, restore, or close the second window using
the resize buttons shown in the following figure.
