This option enables you to associate an instrument with a device panel. This feature is useful when, for instance, you create a number of device panels in the Domain Explorer by copying a reference item from the Reference Explorer. The device panels you create in the Domain Explorer are not associated with any instruments and they are not connected to device cables. A device panel must be associated with an instrument before you can create a device cable for it.
