Wiring Browser

This tab, labeled Wiring and located on the lower‑left side of the application window, is displayed when a topology diagram is active in the Diagram window.

Field	Description
Associate Wiring Designs	Displays the Associate Wiring Designs Dialog Box to associated Capital Logic Designer wiring designs with the topology diagram. See Logical Design Association.
Show Routing Assistant	Opens the Routing Assistant. If wires are selected, this button runs the assistant. If no wires are selected, the Routing Assistant opens empty.
Set Rules and Constraints	Displays the Edit Properties: Diagram Dialog Box to set rule and constraints for the topology diagram. See Setting Constraints for an Entire Topology Diagram.
Associate Signals by Attribute or Property	Displays the Associate Signals By Attribute or Property Dialog Box to group wires into topology signals. See Grouping Wires into Signals.
Refresh Wiring	Synchronizes changes in the associated Capital Logic Designer designs with the Capital Wiring Integrator design. See Synchronizing Wiring Changes With a Capital Wiring Integrator Design. When is displayed, the topology and the associated Capital Logic Designer designs have become out-of-sync and you must synchronize them again. This may be triggered by manually placing or unplacing devices and renaming objects in the topology.
Tree	It lists all harness objects present on the associated Capital Logic Designer designs, grouped into folders by object type (wires, multicores, devices, connectors and inlines). To highlight an object in the Diagram window, select it in the browser tree. If an object is not associated with an object on the topology diagram, it is dimmed. After an association is made, the object is available. To select an object, navigate through the folder structure, and then select the object name: If an association with a topology object exists, the selected object is highlighted on the topology diagram. Each object entry in the Design Browser offers all of the right‑click options available to the object on the diagram. You can hover over a device to display a tooltip to identify which Logic design includes the device.
Enter Filter String box	Enter a series of characters. A filter is applied to the Wiring Browser so that only objects with names containing that series of characters are listed. The behavior of the filter varies depending on whether you use wildcards and the case (upper or lower) of the specified characters. See also “Browser Tab and Dialog Box Filters” in the Capital Design Tools - Common Functions User Guide.
Show all objects / Show remaining objects / Show completed objects	Show all objects All harness objects present on the associated Capital Logic Designer designs are displayed in the Wiring Browser. Show remaining objects Only harness objects that are not yet associated with a an object on the topology diagram are displayed in the Wiring Browser. Show completed objects Only harness objects that are associated with a an object on the topology diagram are displayed in the Wiring Browser.
