• All sub-components of a component appear indented under the
component.
2. Select the component that you want to work with and then click on Apply.
ECM updates the ECM Main window. You can keep both the ECM Main
window and the Components dialog box open at the same time — just
arrange them on the screen so both are visible. Then click on various
components in the Components dialog box and click on Apply. You can see
the configurations that are available for all devices of that component’s
device type in the Main window.
3. When you want to close the Components dialog box, click on Cancel.

Selecting Devices Within ECM
Once you select a device in the SpectroGRAPH, you have access not only to
that device and all its components, but also to all devices of the same type in
the selected landscape(s). This means you do not have to exit ECM to:
• View all the device specific configurations of all the devices of the same
type.
• View all the shared configurations of all the devices of the same type.
• Capture configurations from multiple devices of the same type.
• Load and verify device specific configurations to multiple devices, on a
one-to-one basis.
• Load and verify a shared configuration to multiple devices.
See the Devices Section, starting on Page 2-11, and the procedure descriptions
in the separate specific chapters for details on selecting devices.
NOTE
If you want to work with a component of a selected device as part of a larger
configuration (rather than as an independent configuration), then you can
scroll to that component in the Configuration Detail portion of the selected
window. See Configuration Detail Section and Status Field on Page 2-17.text
NOTE
Though you can select different devices of the same type as the one selected
in the SpectroGRAPH, without having to exit ECM, you have to exit ECM
and select another device to access the components of that other device.
In ECM you can access the components of only the device selected in the
SpectroGRAPH.
