Optional Settings Wizard
Drivers can have optional settings to change certain behaviours like publishing behaviour or adding a Watchdog.
To assist with the definition of these Optional Settings and ensure that the JSON Object is correctly formatted and includes all required entries, the Device Management Tool provides a Optional Settings Wizard.
Access the Status Register Wizard
Notes:
To access the Optional Settings Wizard it is required that:
- The entry in Column Optional Settings is not empty. -> The tool should automatically set the default Optional Settigns JSON Object in this case.
- A Device Name is defined
- A Driver Name is selected
- A Driver Group Name is selected
Select the respective cell in Column Optional Settings for the Device you want to change Optional Settings.
If all conditions are met, the Optional Settings Wizard button is shown in the Help section of the LitmusConfiguration ribbon.

Edit a Optional Settings
Select the Optional Setting you want to edit to open its Edit screen.
Edit the Value and press the Modify button.
Notes:
If not both Name and Value are provided, the Modify button will remain grayed out and the property can not be saved.
The wizard also performs a verification for each entry and will show any violation in red. In this case the Modify button will also be grayed out to prevent the saving of any invalid Optional Settings.
Notes:
Some Drivers can reqire additional Optional Settings based on what is select.
Example: The users changes the WatchDog setting to true.
Which adds additional settings which the user can set.
