Panel Spreadsheet Notes
Panels are validated upon creation. That means that if you create a panel and do not input any data, you can still go into an analysis focus without receiving an error message. When you create a row in this spreadsheet the loads are set to zero until you change them. This means the panel (unlike the MCC) remains validated for analysis even after you have created rows but have not input any data.
If you are making a custom entry, you will notice that many of the data cells contain lists of items. Some of the cells have bold headings, and when they are selected the Calculate button becomes active. Clicking it calculates the data for those cells. You can select several cells at a time before clicking the Calculate button. For instance, clicking on the header selects the entire column.
Because the panel is a library, along with the Calculate button, all of the other editing features are identical to those listed in the customizing section for the Device Library. See Customizing the Device Library for more information.
Panel rows exhibit special behavior due to the nature of panel circuits. See Panel Row Behaviors for more information.
