NOTE: You can enter a new value without toggling the tag’s force state, but then
the tag can be overwritten.
Strings and Timers
Strings and timers differ from tags only in that you do not need to click the
Toggle Force State button before entering a new value. (In fact, there is no such
button in the string and timer windows.) Whatever value you enter will be
accepted immediately by the project. However, the value cannot be locked and
will be overwritten by the normal execution of your project.
7.3.9 Additional Tools for Flow Charts Only
Button Tool Description
Toggle Labels Toggles the display of block labels, as
determined by each block’s Caption
property.
Select Active Block Directly selects the block that is
currently being executed.
Enable Diagnostic Timers Enables diagnostic timers that measure
the total time to execute charts, as well
as time spent executing loops. Selecting
this tool also enables the Execution
Time column in the
Charts tab .
View Diagnostic Timers Opens a window showing all of the
diagnostic timers for the current chart.
Diagnostic timers must already be
enabled as described above. Since only
times of 1 second or more are
displayed, this window is usually empty.
Size to Content Adjusts the sizes of the blocks in the
currentchart to accomodate the content
of the blocks. Resizing is not persistent;
blocks will revert to their original sizes
when the debugger window is closed.
