With the config button, you can add the required IDs, each one of which will export the information to an SA Pulsar MKII - Device connector, from where the device can be managed. The Device Overview page displays the status and behavior of the device communication and allows DVE management.

This page displays a table listing the monitored devices. Via the Config page button, new elements can be added to this table, using the remote response address of the devices.
The page allows you to manage the polling functionality of the monitoring and to control the creation of the virtual element.
To remove a device from the list, use the Delete button in the Actions column. This will stop the polling process and will delete the element.
Export a DVE will generate a new element that allows the management and monitoring of a specific device.
In the Name column, you can customize the name of the generated DVE.
