Designing a Hardware System in the Design View
Use the Design view to design and document a virtual hardware system using hardware you do and do not own.
The Design view enables you to design a new hardware system, modify an existing hardware system, and document the system to retain or share with others.
- Design a system using your current system as a template—Create a new system using the hardware connected to your local machine by removing, modifying, or adding devices.
- Design a new system—Create a new system by adding virtual hardware devices and wiring them together.
- Swap device models—Switch out one device for another device to better meet your system needs.
- Manage visible device ports—Hide unused device ports on devices to remove clutter from the Design diagram.
- Configure a Device Match in SystemDesigner—Enable hardware matching to apply changes to a live hardware device from the Design view.
