For some device families, the Device Configurator contains several tabs, each of which provides access to specific resources. Different devices have different resources tabs. However, for some device families, there are no separate tabs; resources are shown in a single pane, sometimes under collapsible trees.

When you enable a resource, or select an enabled resource, the

Parameters pane

displays various configuration options. As described under

Icons

, some enabled resources may contain errors, warnings, tasks, or infos that indicate some action might be required to resolve the issue. See

Notice List

for more details.


Note:

Only the tabs relevant for a selected device are displayed, so some of the tabs may not be included for some devices.
