Status/Control (UCI Viewer)

The UCI Viewer component allows you to control various aspects and see the status of a UCI when a UCI Viewer client is associated with the UCI.

To use the UCI Viewer Status/Control component:

  1. Create a UCI by Adding a UCI to the Design
  2. From the Inventory Peripherals, place a UCI Viewer Status/Control component into your Inventory.
  3. Drag the UCI Viewer Status/Control component into the Schematic.
  4. Set the Properties as required. See the Properties table below.
  5. Open a UCI Viewer client.
  6. Select UCI Viewers (top left over the list of UCIs) Note: you can still run the UCI from the list of UCIs, but the UCI Viewer Status/Control component will be inactive.
  7. Select the UCI Viewer (Status/Control component) you wish to use.
  8. The Status field of the selected UCI Viewer turns to OK (Green).

Tip: For additional properties not listed, refer to the Properties Panel help topic for more information.

Status LED

This LED changes color to indicate the current status of the Core. See Status for the meanings of the various colors.

Status

Component status is conveyed with the Status LED and Status box, which uses both color and text to indicate the current condition:

  • OK: The device is functioning normally.
  • Initializing: The device is in the process of a firmware or configuration update, or the design is starting.
  • Compromised: The device is functioning, but a non-fatal problem exists. Refer to the Status box for details.
  • Missing: The device cannot be discovered.
  • Fault: The device is malfunctioning or is not properly configured. Refer to the Status box for details.
  • Unknown: This status appears during a Core reboot (for example, during a firmware update), or when a design is being uploaded to the Core and before it has started running.
  • Not Present: If applicable to the device, this status appears when the device is not connected to the network and its Is Required component property is set to 'No'. This status also appears if the device component's Dynamically Paired property is set to 'Yes', pairing has not been assigned in Core Manager, and the device component's Is Required property is set to 'Yes'. See Dynamic Pairing.
