Tab Wire harness

Use this tab to edit the properties of a wire harness.

In the Properties (global) editing mode, you can edit the properties for all function representations at once; otherwise, the functions of distributed functions can be independently edited.

Overview of the main dialog elements:

Wire harness name:

Here you enter the name for the wire harness or select an entry from the drop-down list. The list shows all values that you have previously entered for the same type of function at other places in the project.

Displayed DT:

The displayed DT is displayed in the graphical editor on the component. If you have defined in the project settings that devices are to be automatically numbered when symbols are inserted, then a DT is automatically suggested here. You can accept this DT or overwrite it manually.

In addition you can use the popup menu or the [...] button to create or select a DT.

Full DT:

This field displays the full DT (i.e. structure identifier of the current environment + displayed DT) of the component / item. Use the [...] button to open the Full DT dialog. You can edit the structure identifiers there and select, e.g., another mounting location.

Technical characteristics:

Here you enter the technical characteristics for the function / device.

Function text:

Here you enter the function text for the function / device.

Aside from the manually entered function text, there are other (automatically determined) function texts that you will find in the table of properties:

Engraving text:

Here you enter the engraving text for the function / device, or select an entry from the drop-down list. The list shows all values that you have previously entered for the same type of function at other places in the project.

Mounting site (describing):

Enter the descriptive mounting site for the function / device here, or select an entry from the drop-down list. The list shows all values that you have previously entered for the same type of function at other places in the project.

Main function:

Select this check box if the current function is a main function.
When using a DT for which there is already a main function, when using a placed main function, or when placing an already placed main function, this property will automatically be switched off at the target function, that is, the check box is deactivated.

Note:

The setting is automatically compared to the check box of the same name in the Symbol / function data tab.
