Edit System Properties
When a new module has been installed, the system properties have to be updated in
UNICORN. The system will restart automatically when the configuration has been changed
in the System Properties dialog box and then the system can be reconnected.
There are four main types of modules (named components in UNICORN) to select from:
•

More than one component of the same type is only available if the first has been selected.
The selection made is reflected in which instructions and phase properties that are
available.
The following instruction gives a general description of how to update the system
