The above is an example of the sub-link table. The first row is the title row. It displays the title of each column. The other rows display one sub-link per row. You can create scroll button groups or scroll bars to scroll the contents. A sub-link table can have four columns. The following table describes the content of each column for a sub-link table.

Column Description
Name The name of the sub-link.
Node The node address of the sub-link.
State The communication state for the selected sub-link. If the state is On, the panel will communicate with the sub-link after running the application. If the state is Off, the panel will not communicate with the sub-link until the communication state is turned On in a sub-link table. Push the button in the cell to enable or disable a sub-link.
Show If the state is On, the communication error message will be shown when the sub-link encounters communication errors. If the state is OFF, no error message will be shown for any communication errors. Push the button to show or not show the error message

The text color and font of a row are determined by the settings in the General Page.
