Toolbar
The toolbar provides functionality to the navigation tree when configuring the BACnet setup. It is divided into groups.
To create new items in the tree the user has to click the New button.
To delete items from the tree the user has to click the Delete button. If the selected items are BACnet-devices or BACnet-objects, then a dialog will ask if you would want to delete dependant trend-logs and peripheral dependencies. This means that trend-logs that are trending from deleted BACnet-device or BACnet-object, will also be deleted. However trend-logs on remote devices will not be effected. Peripheral devices and ports that are used by the selected BACnet-devices and BACnet-objects will also be deleted. Any configuration of the LoRaWAN server or other services will not be effected.
The user can copy and paste items in the navigation tree. The user can select an item in the tree and right-click to choose Copy or Paste from the menu that appears. The user can also use the keyboard combinations ctrl + c to copy and ctrl + v to paste. The copied item will appear in the clipboard-group. Clicking the red x button in the upper right corner will remove any items that are in the clipboard.
The user can export any item in the navigation tree to a file, that can then be imported to another DINGO device. The user can select an item in the tree and click the Export button. The Include children determines if child items under the selected item should be included in the export. A new window will appear.
The window shows the items to be exported in a JSON format. Clicking the Formatted button will make the JSON content more readable for review. Clicking the Compact button will reduce the size of the export file. Clicking the Save to file... will save the JSON content to a file. The user can also mark the content in the text-box and use the keyboard combination ctrl + c to copy the content to the clipboard.
The user can import items into the navigation tree by first selecting a target in the tree and then clicking on the Import button. A new window will appear.
Clicking the Load from file... button will read the JSON content to be imported from a file. When the content has been loaded from a file or pasted into the text-box via the clipboard, the user can click the Formatted or Compact buttons to review the content. When the user is ready to perform the import, he will click the Import button. If the content to be imported is not allowed under the selected target in the navigation tree, then an error is displayed and the import is cancelled. A busy indicator will appear while the import takes place. When the import is finished, then close the window and remember to save the changes.
The Generate... button becomes enabled, when selecting a trend-log in the navigation tree. The selected trend-log will be used as a template, when generating new trend-logs. More information here.
These buttons will enable or disable the selected items in the navigation tree.
If the selected items are BACnet-devices or BACnet-objects, then a dialog will ask if you would want to enable/disable dependant trend-logs and peripheral dependencies. This means that trend-logs that are trending from enabled/disabled BACnet-device or BACnet-object, will also be enabled/disabled. However trend-logs on remote devices will not be effected. Peripheral devices and ports that are used by the selected BACnet-devices and BACnet-objects will also be enabled/disabled. Any configuration of the LoRaWAN server or other services will not be effected.
Clicking the Settings... button will open a window with various BACnet settings. More information here.
The Change ID... button becomes enabled, when selecting BACnet devices. More information here.
The numbers show how many BACnet objects the activated license allows, how many objects are in use and how many more objects can be added. Click the Change... button to enable or upgrade the license. More information here.
