The object has the following functions:

A carrier of object properties,

Folders,

A carrier of functionality (e.g., launching a specific application).

Objects as property carriers

Objects can have both functions and properties (such as settings). When you select an object, you can use it to perform one of the following functions:

To edit an object, use the menu command Edit > Open Object.

Use the menu command Edit > Object Properties to open the dialog box and set object-specific options.

Folders can also be used as carriers of attributes.

Objects as folders

Folders (directories) can contain other folders or objects. These are displayed when you open the folder.


Objects as Carriers of Functionality

When you open an object, a window appears in which you can edit the object.


An object is either a folder or a carrier of a function. Stations are an exception: they are both folders (for programmable modules) and carriers of functions (for configuring hardware).


If you double-click a station, the objects contained in it are displayed: Programmable modules and station configuration (station as folder).


If you open a station using the menu command Edit » Open Object, you can configure the station and assign parameters to it (station as function carrier). The menu command has the same effect as double-clicking the "Hardware" object.
