Configuration HubModel Panel
The Model panel is where you go to navigate and initiate actions on your model. To configure the model, click on Model entry under your iFIX node in the Navigation panel. You will see a table of Types and Instances in the main panel.
Note: Be aware that the panel should not be floating, and must be docked before performing any operation.
The Details panel will provide additional information about your selections in the Model panel. The Object types show variables and contained types on expansion and the contained types can be further expanded to navigate through the containment hierarchy. You can also see the hierarchy of templates that will be created for a given parent template. Similarly, the object instances tree provides navigation to the instance containment hierarchy.
The Model panel lets you configure the model in the following ways.
- Create Types
- Edit types (in a separate panel)
- Create Object Instances from Types
Warning: In the Model panel, when Object Instances or variables under an Object Instance are selected, the properties are populated on the Details panel. When changes are made to the properties of an instance or variable, these changes are saved on a selection change in the model tree.
