When you select a node in Peripherals (or in the Nodes View or the source file), the Node Inspector panel displays properties and information about the currently selected node. For example, the following image shows information for the vmc node.
The Node Inspector groups the properties in a series of areas, described in the following table.
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Name of the node | Includes the name of the node with its unit address, and the drop-down menu with the list of bindings you can assign to this node.  In some cases, the list is disabled if you can only assign specific bindings. The bindings are populated from devicetree type YAML files in Zephyr, the nRF Connect SDK, or your application (or all these). Note: A red X icon appears next to the node name when the node is missing required properties. Hover over the icon for more details.  |
| Properties | Includes the list of properties for the selected node, where you can configure their values or their state.  The list of options in the window entries is populated from devicetree type YAML files in Zephyr and the nRF Connect SDK. Note: - The properties marked with an * are required for the selected node.- A red X icon appears next to a property when it is required, but its value is not defined. - A blue information icon appears next to a property if there is a non-critical conflict, for example overlapping memory ranges.  Hovering with the mouse cursor over the property name will display a tooltip with information about the property. The information is taken from the devicetree source files.  You can use the Add Property button at the heading level to add an optional property from a dedicated window.  |
| Pins | Includes the list of pins for the selected node.  Use the buttons next to the pin drop-down menu to configure the behavior of the chosen pin. These buttons correspond to the ones displayed in the Pin Overview in the Pins View. You can use the Add Pin State button to add new pin states for selection, for example when assigning pins to nodes.  |
| Advanced | Includes the list of advanced properties for the selected node.  |
| Labels | Includes the list of labels. The labels are unique, human-readable identifiers of the node. You can add custom labels using the Add Label button, located at the heading level. |
| Description | Includes the help description for the selected node.  The description is taken from the devicetree source files. You can use the Visit Online Documentation button at the heading level to open and read the source documentation for the node, either in the Zephyr SDK documentation or in the Devicetree specification. |
