Instances tab
This section lists all instances created via the Adapter tab. They can be started, stopped, configured, and deleted here.
The name of an instance consists of the adapter name and a sequential number; the first one is assigned the0 . Out ofjavascript.0 This is the namespace under which all objects of this instance reside. Therefore, instance numbers are not changed retroactively.

The detail line
When expanded, the left-hand line shows whether the instance is connected to the host and sending a signal, along with the installed version. The right-hand line displays:
- the log level : from
debugaboveinfoandwarnuntilerrorIf something isn't going smoothly, it helpsdebug; then reset it again, otherwise the log will grow quickly. - Input and output events : how many values the instance has received and sent since startup.
- Automatically restart : a schedule according to which the instance will restart.
- The RAM limit . It's an upper limit, not a reservation. Don't set it too high on systems with limited memory.
- The starting order (tier) . Smaller numbers start first:
1Logic adapters are followed by data and surface adapters. - The trash can deletes the instance along with its objects. Other instances of the same adapter and the adapter itself remain.
Two green checkmarks on the left don't automatically mean everything is correct: they only indicate that the instance is running and communicating with the host. Whether the connection to the device is established is revealed by the object.info.connection the instance.
