Relay Groups

Use the Relay Groups section on the Pin Map tab to specify a grouping of relays that you can reference with a single name. You can right-click any item in the section you want to edit and use the context menu to complete common tasks.

Choose one of the following options to add a relay to the pin map file:

• Click <Add Relays Here> to display the Relay Groups pane, and click the Relay Group button.
• Right-click <Add Relays Here> and select Relay Group from the context menu.

The Pin Map Editor automatically adds the relay to the Relays section. Select a relay in the Relays section to display the Relays pane, where you can edit the relay's name, open state display label, and closed state display label.

The Pin Map Editor automatically adds the relay group to the Relay Groups section. Select a relay group in the Relay Groups section to display the Relay Groups pane, where you can change the relay group name and use the individual checkboxes or the Select All checkbox to add or remove site relays, system relays, or relay groups from the selected relay group.

Note  

Relay group names are case sensitive and must begin with a letter or underscore (_) and are limited to A-Z, a-z, 0-9, or _ characters.

Once you create a relay group, you can also add relays or other relay groups to the relay group using one of the following options:

• Click <Add Relay References Here>, and click the Relay Reference button in the Relay Groups pane to display a drop-down menu of available relays and relay groups.
• Right-click <Add Relay References Here>, and select Relay Reference from the context menu to display a drop-down menu of available relays and relay groups.
• Drag pins or pins groups from the Relays or Relay Groups section into a relay group.

You can also cut, copy, and paste relay groups, or add comments in the Relay Groups pane. Use the Comment button to specify a comment for the selected relay group. Comments display beneath the relay group they modify.
