1.6.3.10 Adding a Device Form

There are two ways to add device forms to the view. The quickest method is to click on the Add

Device toolbar button which opens the Add Device pop-up window. The second way involves

clicking on the Setup menu and then selecting the Add Device command.

The Add Device window gives the user the choice of near and far devices. The user should

select the required device form corresponding to the device located in the near or far signalling

processor board. Finally, click on the OK button.

If a device form already exists within the main view, this selection will not be available from the

Add Device pop-up window.

The cancel button allows the user to exit the window without selecting a device form.

If the user attempts to open more than four device forms (Version 1.0 maximum) during an

evaluation session, a pop-up window will notify the user that no more device forms are available.

1.6.3.11 Deleting a Device Form

Windows NT and '95

To close a device form (iconised or open), click on the close button in the upper-right corner of the

device form.

Windows 3.11

To close a device form (not iconised), click on the upper-left corner pulldown menu of the device

form, and click on the close command.

1.6.3.12 Switching between Opened Device Forms

A device form must have the focus to allow the user to modify the Write registers and view the

settings of the read registers.

The device form focus can be switched by simply clicking on the required form. Switching the

focus can also be achieved by clicking on the Window pulldown menu, and then click on the

required device form.

1.6.3.13 Device Forms

The evaluation software has been designed so that each device has a corresponding device form.

The device forms have been created based on the device data sheets to allow the user to easily

and quickly set up a device in the required operating mode. Additional FFSK sections are

included on the FX829 device form, as it was considered important to have these features

available. Future releases of the ES8000 software will include device demonstration windows.

The device forms for the FX828 and FX829 are illustrated on the following pages. It should be

noted that this evaluation kit will also support an earlier device, the FX818, which has now been

discontinued.
