6. An electrical control target configuration method, comprising:
causing, by control circuitry, a display of a graphical user interface (GUI) that includes a plurality of electrical control-target device entry fields on a communicatively coupled display device;
generating, by the control circuitry, an electrical control-target device configuration model that includes a plurality of user selectable electrical control-target device parameters that define at least one electrical control-target device;
iteratively, for each the plurality of electrical control-target device entry fields and responsive to selection of respective ones of the plurality of electrical control-target device entry fields:
determining, by the control circuitry, one or more available parameters associated with the respective electrical control-target device entry field and one or more non-available parameters associated with the respective electrical control-target device entry field based on the electrical control-target device configuration model;
causing, by the control circuitry, a display of the one or more available parameters and the one or more non-available parameters, wherein the one or more non-available parameters includes an explanation for non-availability;
responsive to a user selection of one of the listed available parameters:
updating, by the control circuitry, the electrical control-target device configuration model; and
responsive to a user selection of one of the listed non-available parameters, for each prior-selected parameter that caused the non-availability of the user selected non-available parameter:
causing, by the control circuitry, a display of a list of revised prior-selected parameters based on the current parameter selection
receiving, by the control circuitry, an input indicative of a revised prior-selected parameter; and
updating, by the control circuitry, the electrical control-target device configuration model with the current parameter and the revised prior selected parameter.
