Configuring ICD Forms

The layout, structure and appearance of ICD forms are controlled by a number of .json files located in the Capital_install/webclient/configuration/icds/ directory. These files are also used to control which properties are made available to which Device types.

CAUTION: You should always make a backup of these files prior to making modifications as any syntax errors can result in the ICD form not displaying.

Available .json Files

• icdproperties.json — used to specify the basic layout and properties that can appear on your ICD form.
• icdnetproperties.json — used to configure additional net properties that are propagated to the ICD when it is used in Capital Logic.
• icdpinproperties.json — used to configure additional pin properties that are propagated to the ICD when it is used in Capital Logic. Pin properties can also be determined by the type code of the ICD.
• icdqueries.json — used to set up queries for ICDs and components to aid the location and use of a .JSON file.

The example file shown in Figure 1 contains a number of entries that can be modified according to your requirements.
