Device properties

Role assign

The role that this device belongs to. Devices in your design are allocated to roles (either manually, or automatically by NWare). Roles are then assigned to MediaMatrix hardware devices for processing during deployment.

You can manually assign a device to a role by clicking the button to change it to the button, and then selecting a role name in the list.

NWare will decide which role this device belongs to.

The user will specify a role manually.

Multiple devices have been selected for assignment to a role; some of the devices have already been assigned to a role manually and others have not.

Input Ports

The number of input nodes to display on the device block.

When the Log button on the control surface is clicked or any of the values received on the input nodes changes, an entry is written to the log. The format of the entry is controlled by the Format field.

Severity (optional)

The severity of the log entry, e.g. warning or fault.

Format (optional)

The default format of string values that will be written to the log. If you want the value received on input node 3 to be written to the log, for example, you can specify this string:

Value received on third input node is <input_3>

If this field is left blank, the following string is written to the log:

The value is <input_1>

The value received on the first input node of the Logger device is substituted for <input_1>.
