Build Condition

The following dialog boxes appear, depending on the Condition Type you select
for a decision block of If/Then, Repeat/Until, or While Loop:

For a Condition Type of Expression, the Build Condition dialog appears:

This dialog includes one text entry field, Condition, which must include
some relational operator (e.g. =, <, >,

≠) to be evaluated. You can enter

math and Boolean expressions in the Condition field, but you must
enclose Boolean expressions in brackets.

If the Condition evaluates as TRUE when the chart is scanned, then the
true branch of the decision block will be followed. If the Condition
evaluates as FALSE, then the false branch will be followed.

For a Condition Type of Diag Fault Bit Test or Error Status Bit Test, a
regular Select Tag dialog appears for you to enter the Source Tag.

5.6.5 Moving, resizing, and deleting blocks in a Flow Chart

Once a block or group of blocks has been placed in a flow chart, you can move,
copy, resize, or delete it as needed without breaking the chart’s flow. The
flowlines to and from the blocks are automatically redrawn to accommodate
whatever changes you make.

To select a block or group of blocks: click the Select Tool in the

Flow Chart

toolbar

and then click anywhere inside a block. The selected block becomes

dark green and red handles appear around it. To select multiple blocks, hold
down the <shift> key while selecting blocks. All selected blocks become green.
