Locating the Source Functional Object for a Physical Object

When working on a Capital Systems Integrator diagram in Capital Platform Designer, you can locate a functional object in a Capital Logic Designer diagram that is the source for a particular physical object in the Capital Systems Integrator diagram. This functionality opens the appropriate Capital Logic Designer diagram automatically and highlights the functional object in that diagram.

You can locate the source for the following objects:

• Devices placed in a slot (listed under the slot on the Design tab or under Devices on the Function tab).

• Devices not placed in a slot (listed on the Function tab).

• Signals (listed on the Design tab or on the Function tab).

• Multicores (listed under harnesses on the Design tab).

• Cavities on a slot connector, but not on an inline pair (listed on the Design tab).

• Wires (listed under harnesses on the Design tab).

Procedure

1. With the Capital Systems Integrator diagram open in Capital Platform Designer, click the physical object, press Space Bar and enter Show Functional Source. Alternatively, right-click the object and choose the Show Functional Source option from the pop-up menu.

2. If there is only one functional object that is represented by the selected physical object, the Capital Logic Designer design and its diagram are opened and the functional object is highlighted. If the Capital Logic Designer diagram is already open, it is brought to the front of the diagram window.If there is more than one functional object that is represented by the selected physical object, the Show Functional Source dialog box displays. It lists the functional objects and the functional designs where they are located. You must select the functional object that you want to locate and click the OK button. The Capital Logic Designer design and diagram are opened and the functional object is highlighted.
