The following procedure explains how to edit the properties of an apparatus terminal.

  1. In the Domain Explorer, select the terminal that you want to edit.

  2. Right-click the selected terminal and select Properties.

  4. Define the terminal name by typing values in the Left terminal and Right terminal boxes as you require.

    The combination of the left and right terminal name will then appear in the Domain Explorer.

  5. In the Sequence field, type a unique terminal sequence number.

    SHARED Tip This number designates the physical position of the terminal on the strip. The software assigns this number automatically when you add a new terminal to the selected terminal strip. If you change the sequence number of a terminal, be sure to change the sequence numbers of the other terminals on the apparatus strip to avoid duplicate values, which may interfere with the termination process.
