Activity

After the call, the bus nodes are queried and displayed.

Four different symbols are used to indicate the operating mode of a station:

SEmpty box with gray background (the same background color as tabs): No partner device found

SEmpty box with bright background: Passive station (for example DP slave)

SCheck mark on bright background: Active station (for example DP master)

SCheck mark on gray background: Active station ready to enter network
