All of the Tools can easily be selected from the Toolbox and inserted into a project. From there they can
be moved, resized, cut, copied, pasted or deleted using simple point and click operations. Double
clicking on a given Tool will open the properties window for the Tool where detailed settings can be
changed.
The Properties window for a Tool is separated into two parts:
The left pane of the property window is where detailed properties such as background, name, font, style,
color, scale, and layout can be modified. The right pane has a pull down selection box where inputs or
outputs for the Tool are selected. Some of the Tools, such as Picture Box, Text Box, Group Box and
Label do not have an input/output select box in their property window because they are used only as
graphic or text displays.
In the example shown above, the pull down selection box will show the following default tag names:
If 1_VDN_2_0 is selected for the input to the Tank Tool shown above, the tank will display the System 1
MAQ20-VDN module analog input channel 0.
If the default tag names are changed, the new tag names will appear in the Tool properties window.
