Device Runtime

Following either the creation, or network discovery, of a device, you should now be able to view it in Runtime, as shown below.

A BACnet Device's Runtime Settings

The Runtime tab allows you to see connected devices in the left side of the properties window.

Several of the settings can be changed while the device is in Runtime.

The right side of the window is controlled by the Group [] and List [] buttons.

Search Bar

There is also a search bar, which allows you to enter a search term (whether using a Group or an List sort).

NOTE: The search bar performs a search of the setting names - not of the contained data. In the example above, the search for "Protocol" returns the 'Protocol Version', 'Protocol Revision', 'Protocol Ser Support' and 'Protocol Obj Support' fields.

Group

The Group button [] sorts the contained BACnet settings in specific sections. In the image below, the sections have not been collapsed, so you can see the groups of 'Basic/Object' and 'Basic/Device' and the settings they contain.

Group Sort, Non-collapsed

You can collapse the groups by clicking on the up caret [] button. Collapsing all the groups provides a view of all the categories that device or object contains, as shown below.

Group Sort, Collapsed

You can expand the groups again by clicking on the down caret [] button.

List

The List button [] sorts the contained BACnet settings as one list, rather than within their respective categories, as shown below.

Object List

The Object List setting within the Basic/Object category (highlighted in the image below) allows you to edit the list by clicking on the ellipsis button [...] to the right of the field.

Clicking on the ellipsis opens the Collection window, where you can Add or Remove Items, as well as sort them. When you select an Item in the left side of the window, you will be able to see its Instance number and Object type in the Properties section on the right side of the window.
