9.2 Inserting Instructions

An instruction can be easily inserted into the program by highlighting it in the
Instruction Panel list and pressing the Insert button or by double-clicking the
instruction name. If an instruction has one or more parameters, an instruction
dialog box will be displayed to facilitate editing the parameters. Complete the
information in the parameter fields and press Insert to paste the instruction into
the program. (You may disable this instruction dialog box by clearing the
option in the View | Instruction Panel Preferences | Show Instruction
Dialog
check box.)

You can filter the list of instructions available in the Instruction Panel by
clicking the drop-down arrow to the right of the text box above the list. This
will allow you to display only instructions of a specific type such as
Measurement or Program Structure/Control. This provides a smaller list to
select from and makes it easier to find the instruction you want. Switch back to
All to see all of the instructions available. You can create custom instruction
filter lists as described later in this section.

9.2.1 Parameter Dialog Box

The Parameter dialog box will appear when an instruction is added that has
one or more parameters or when the cursor is placed on an existing instruction
and the right mouse button is pressed. This dialog box contains a field for each
of the parameters in the instruction. Edit these fields as necessary and then
press the Insert button to paste the instruction into the program.
