Object Runtime

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

Object Runtime Settings

Several of the settings can be changed while the object 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 sections of 'Basic/Object' and 'Basic/Device' and the settings they contain.

Group Sort, Non-collapsed

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

Group Sort, Collapsed

You can expand the categories 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.
