Px customization

You can make a Px view in a station that provides a customized alternative to the default Hardware Scan Service View, by using Px widgets available in the palette of the platHwScan module, as well any custom edited image (.png) file or files (for the controller “layout” diagrams).

As shown here, there are four types of Px widgets in the platHwScan palette:

  • HardwareScanServiceReferenceTable

    This widget automatically receives values from the station’s platform HardwareScanService, presenting it in a table with five columns. It applies to any supported controller type.

  • OptionCardWidget

    This widget represents either a top view or side (port) view of any installed option card, and is designed to overlay an image file that represents a top and/or side layout view of a controller type. It applies to all supported controller types except the Windows-based ones (JACE-NXT, JACE-NXS).

     NOTE: An OptionCardWidget must have its Slot property value set to either 1 or 2, depending on location. If copied from the palette, the slot property value defaults to 0. 
  • PciCardWidget

    This widget represents an installed MiniPCI card, and also overlays a controller layout image file. It applies only to a WiFi option for JACE-7 (700) series controller (using platHwScanJvln module).

  • SerialShellJumperWidget

    This widget represents the current “serial shell jumper” position of a controller, and also overlays a controller layout image file. It applies to the same controller types as the OptionCardWidget.

Configurable properties for these Px widgets include:

  • Visible: true (default)/false
  • Enabled: true (default)/false
  • As well as several properties that allow you to configure the object’s appearance.
 NOTE: The different platHwScanType modules may also contain Px widgets specific to the type of controller. For example, platHwScanTitan contains the OptionModuleWidget.
