The number of available converters depends on the configuration. The user can select a converter to configure by selecting it from the drop-down menu.

Notice List​

The Notice List pane combines notices (errors, warnings, tasks, and notes) from many places in the configuration into a centralized list. If a notice shows a location, you can double-click that entry to display the parameter causing the error or warning.

For more information, refer to the Device Configurator user guide.

Status bar​

The Status bar displays various input field ranges, etc. On the left side – currently-edited parameter's name, units, and range. On the right side – MCU hardware resources reserved across all instantiated converters.

Logging​

The Configurator automatically generates a log for each session. The file location differs for each operating system and can be found in the About dialog.
