SurfaceInterface

Both the SurfaceInterface and the panel have a graphical representation in 'circuit view. The surface of an device always consists of a SurfaceInterface and a panel which are interconnected. While the panel is the visible part of the surface the SurfaceInterface manages the control.

In the picture below the highest SurfaceInterface in the hierarchy is marked with the red arrows. You can see another SurfaceInterface directly under the marked one which is the one for the preset list. the host software in XTC mode (normally a audio sequencer) will display the panel that is connect to this SurfaceInterface as it has the higher position in the device's hierarchy.
With the 'show in devicebar' command when right clicking the SurfaceInterface in the Project Window you can control if the device is shown in the device bar (Pulsar/Scope mode).

The '(Don't )Show in context menu' allows yo to adjust if the connected surface can be opened/closed from the context menu of the device (when right clicking the device). This could be usefull for preset lists or subpanels.
