Working with Equipment Specifications

Equipment specifications represent physical items of hardware. Modules and cards that occupy equipment holders are examples of equipment. But Equipment specifications can also model more complex devices such as shelves or racks. You can also use Equipment specifications for self-contained, independent devices such as routers or desk-top modules. You define the composition of the Equipment specification in the following ways:

• In the Visualization tab of the Equipment Specification editor.

• By relating physical ports, connectors, or equipment holder specifications to the Equipment specification.
