Each external device represented in the Bay Panel is identified by an external device designation. The user can either select this designation from a list of over 70 pre-defined names (via the parameter DEV01: Designat. ext. dev. in case of DEV01, for example), or this parameter is set to Device Name User. With this selection, the text for the device's name, entered by the user at DEV01: DEV-Name User (in case of DEV01, for example), will be used as the device's designation.

(The maximum length is 4 characters, as with the fixed identifiers. Longer text entries are truncated to 4 characters internally.)
