(8.D.2.5) Inspector
Overview
Inspector panel
Discussion
The Inspector Panel is a container for inspector controls that can be assigned to a subsystem. An Inspector Panel can contain any number of inspector controls, such as Buttons, Meters, or Knobs, that can modify or read module variables. Drag an Inspector Panel from the module browser onto the canvas at any hierarchy to create a User Inspector for that level. Double click the Inspector Panel to open it in Edit Mode. Once opened, any inspector control from the Inspector folder in the module browser can be dragged onto the panel and assigned to a module variable. Edit Mode can only be accessed from the Inspector Panel itself, and is only enabled during Design time. Edit Mode is only used for changing properties of inspector controls, not for manipulating variable values.
The Inspector Panel can be opened in Control Mode by right clicking on the canvas or the containing subsystem and selecting Show Inspector. Double-clicking on the containing subsystem will also open the Inspector Panel in Control Mode. Control Mode is available during Design or Run time, and allows modification of the values in each inspector to control module variables.
