Device

One icon placed on a sheet, with its number, settings and work status.

A device is one icon type placed on a sheet: a camera, a speaker, a keypad. Each device has a number such as CAM-3, settings such as its Variant, aim and product data, and a work status.

A device can stand for several items at one spot, such as eight wires at one drop; that is its quantity, and the equipment list counts it. Devices joined by connections form a zone.

Tasks:

  • Place a device
  • Change a device's details
  • Copy, duplicate or delete devices
  • Place an outlet
  • Draw LED tape
