Status Field
The Status field (at the bottom of the Main, Configuration, and Template
windows) displays the device name (that is, the SPECTRUM model name of
the device) associated with the most recently selected attribute in either the
Insertable Attribute list box or the inserted Attribute list box. If no attribute
or more than one attribute is selected, the status field is blank.

1024 characters. The purpose of the status field is to display complete device
names, in case they do not fit in the attribute lists. Device names that exceed
the width of the status field will cause scroll arrows to appear, allowing you to
display the entire device name.
