Opening and Editing the Properties of a Hardware Device

Each hardware device (HAL, RADs, DRs, EXPs) has unique hardware properties that you can configure.

note: You can only configure the properties of a device that has been dropped into the Hardware Workspace.

To edit the hardware properties of a device:

If necessary, open the configuration file you want to edit, as follows:

From the File menu in the application toolbar, click Open: In the dialog box that opens, browse for and then select the configuration file that you want. Click the Open button.
Click the Hardware tab to open the Hardware Workspace. Within the workspace, do one of the following:
- Right-click the device whose properties you want to configure. In the context menu that displays, click View Device Properties. The device's Properties dialog box displays.
- Double-click anywhere on the device (except on the editable block name). The device's Properties dialog box displays.
- Hover over the device name and click the properties iconthat appears in the upper right corner, as shown in this thumbnail: The device's Properties dialog box displays.
Adjust the properties to your liking, and then click the X in the upper right corner to close the Properties dialog box.

note: When working in online mode, changes you make to the properties of a device take effect immediately.
