“Devices” area

11. “Devices” area

This area shows the devices registered in the project and the parameters of those devices.
Place widgets in the work area by dragging and dropping parameters into the work area.
If the parameter has multiple instances, such as the [On] switch of an input channel, a dialog box asks you which should be assigned when you drop the item. In the dialog box, you can use the key or key to make a multiple selection.

By clicking the triangle located at the left of a device or parameter, you can expand or collapse the display for each individual device or parameter.

If an unregistered device is detected, a “?” is shown at the left of that device.
