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.

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.

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.

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.
