LDC Device Discovery Screen Update

A novel feature of the recently released 1.10.1 version of the LDC is the totally redesigned Device Discovery screen, which underwent substantial changes. Favourite Devices and a new Tools button are now added and the different connection interfaces of Ethernet, serial and USB are moved to separate tabs for a cleaner look, allowing more space on the screen for Ethernet devices, if numerous of them are connected at the same time. Automatically discovered devices can be added to a favourite list by clicking the star icon. Besides the product name and the device label, which are stored in the device itself, a local alias name can be added, while any IP address can also be added to the favourite list manually. Device lists can be sorted by IP address, product name, device label or serial number.
