Configurator
The TC3 IoT Data Agent configurator is an easy-to-use, graphical user interface that abstracts the XML configuration file and provides a modern interface that includes all functionalities to easily configure symbols that should be send to or received from a cloud service.
The configurator is also used to configure TC3 IoT Functions.
Standard components
The TC3 IoT Data Agent configurator consists of the following areas:
Menu and toolbar | Provides commands for saving and opening files and for starting and stopping the application |
Hierarchical TreeView | Gives a hierarchical overview of the configuration to create and edit a configuration |
Topology view | Gives a graphical overview of the configuration to create and edit a configuration |
Properties window | Shows the properties of an activated component in the topology or tree view. |
Logging | Provides log information from the configurator. |
Cascading Editor | Helps to navigate through large and complex navigations by providing filtering mechanisms for symbols |
Mapping Links | Gives an overview of all links between symbols in the configuration |

Installation
The configurator is installed automatically by the setup and is available as a shortcut in the Windows start menu.
When starting the configurator the first time, it asks for the generation of an OPC UA client certificate. This certificate is used by the configurator in its integrated OPC UA Target Browser to connect to a server and search its namespace. After the certificate has been created, the configurator user interface is displayed.
