Device List
The device list includes a row for each device assigned to the level set you specified.
The table has 3 fixed columns and additional columns — one for each level in the selected level
set.
These are the 3 fixed columns:
• ID
These are the database IDs for the devices in list. You cannot change these IDs.
• Device
These are the names of the devices in the list. You can change the device names. (The
changes will appear in other pages that list the devices.)
• Description
The device descriptions are optional and free-form. You can change the descriptions to any-
thing suitable for your configuration.
The columns for the levels in the level set contain port numbers, divided into 2 groups, one for
inputs and one for outputs. You can edit any port number in the device list. (In many cases, the
ports in the list were generated in the ‘Add Multiple Devices’ process. See
‘Add Mutiple Devices’
Page on page 159.)
Buttons
At the bottom of the page are 5 buttons:
• Save
Click ‘Save’ to commit (make permanent) the changes you have made in the page.
• Revert to Saved
Click ‘Revert to Saved’ to restore the saved version of the device list, discarding any changes
you have made (since the last save).
• ‘Save & Close’
Click ‘Save & Close’ to commit the changes you have made in the page and then close the
page.
• Create Device
Click ‘Create Device’ to add a device to the list.
When you do so, NV9000-SE Utilities adds a new row in the list. You can the enter the device
name and its description, and specify the input and output ports for each of the device’s vir-
tual levels.
 Note that there is no button for deleting devices in this page. You can delete devices
using the ‘Devices’ configuration page or the ‘Devices’ table under the ‘Views’ pane.
• Export
Click ‘Export’ to save the device list to two comma-separated (.csv) text files, one for inputs
and one for outputs.
A ‘Save’ dialog appears in which you can navigate to a folder in which to save the files.
NV9000-SE Utilities sugggests a base name for the files, but you can change it.
