Working with devices

Devices are positioned and configured while in Edit mode , and are wired together in Wire mode . You can change the color of a device in Paint mode . When NWare is connected to a project that has been deployed or emulated, Gesture mode is selected, so you can operate the controls.

Notes:

• When you double-click a device block and display its settings, for some devices you will see properties with values, or spaces where values can be specified. You cannot change these values or type in the spaces until you have deployed the project (see Deploying a project) or emulated the project (see Emulating a project without hardware), and the cursor is displayed (showing Gesture mode).
• If you edit the device properties of a device, when you click OK to confirm any changes, the device will be rebuilt. This means that all the changes you have made on the control surface will be lost. This is an important consideration, especially when working with devices that allow a lot of customization. We recommend that you add a new page to the device, and then copy new or customized controls to that page. The new page will not change when you click OK.
