18 Chapter 3: Graphical User Interface
The previous diagrams show child devices inside device groups. On the standard top
level view (the context of inside the machine device), we would more simply just see
three devices, see Figure 3-8 (arrows represent possible port connections between the
devices).

3.3.3 Working with Device Groups
From the main SimNow window, “View→Show Devices", opens a device viewer GUI
window for the machine device group. We can also open a device viewer GUI window
that views any device group's children. Right-click the device icon and select "Modify
Group (Show Devices)" from the popup menu. If "Modify Group (Show Devices)" is not
present, then the device the user has clicked on is not a group.
Figure 3-9: Modify Group
Click on "Modify Group (Show Devices)". This will open a separate show device viewer
window.
Figure 3-10: Device Group
If any modifications are done to the device group, then they will be saved with the BSD.
Note that it is possible to modify a device group to a point where its children look
nothing like the original device.
