'Extras' 'Step Attributes'

With this command you can open a dialog box in which you can edit the attributes for
the marked step.

Dialog Box for Editing Step Attributes

You can take advantage of three different entries in the step attribute dialog box.
Under Minimum Time, you enter the minimum length of time that the processing of
this step should take. Under the Maximum Time, you enter the maximum length of
time that the processing of this step should take. Note that the entries are of the TIME
type, so you use a TIME constant (i.e. T#3s) or a variable of the TIME type.

The time settings are also accessible in dialog 'Extras' 'Time Overview'.

Under Comment you can insert a comment to the step. In the 'Sequential function
chart options' dialog which you open under 'Extras' 'Options', you can then define
whether comments, the time setting or nothing is displayed for the steps in the SFC
editor. On the right, next to the step, either the comment or the time setting or none
of both will appear.

Those attributes which are not displayed because of the options settings, can -
additionally to the step name - be displayed in a tooltip, which appears when the
cursor is placed on the upper resp. lower right corner of the step box.
