One-Line memory device (zOL)

To use one-line graphics, your project must include a memory device named zOL. One-line graphics use the zOL device to drive animation. You must have at least one zOL device per project. If your project does not include this memory device, you must create it.

You can optionally edit the default zOL device support parameters .

NOTE: When you use Project Setup to create your project, a zOL device is added automatically to the project

To create the zOL device and add it to your project:

  1. Open the I/O Device Manager.
  2. Click Manage a Single Device.
  3. In the I/O Device Manager wizard, click Create one I/O Device in the project. Click Next.
  4. Select the device called OneLine Device Setup. Click Next.
  5. Follow the device creation remaining steps to add the device.

By default, this device will support 100 sources, 1000 buses, 1000 meters, and 1000 breakers. You can modify this in the Profile Editor:

  1. On the Setup Projects tab, choose the project.
  2. Click the Project Parameters sub-tab.
  3. Enter the optional project parameters (MaxBreakers, MaxBuses, MaxMeters, MaxSources). Valid entries are from 1 to 9999 (only 200 for MaxSources).
  4. On the Selected Device Profiles sub-tab, click Refresh Tags.
  5. Export the project.
  6. In the I/O Device Manager wizard, click Update one or all I/O Device(s) option. This updates the zOL I/O device parameters entered in step 3.

The new one-line device is ready to be used in the selected project.
