4.1 Creating a Verify Error Log File
Select the Generate Log File option in the General Options tab to
create a log file on disk containing the same error, warning, and
status messages as the Verify Output window. This file is stored in
the same path as the program with the same name but with a .LOG
extension. It can be opened and viewed using a text editor like
WordPad  . The Editor generates a log file for each program by
default.
To create a verify log file
Step 1.
From the Tools menu, choose Options.
Step 2. On the General tab, select the Generate Log File option in
the Verify group box.
Step 3. To accept the change, click OK or Apply.
Tip
Deselecting this option prevents the Editor from generating the log
file.
4.2 Automatically Checking the Variable
Configurator Database While Verifying a
Program
Select the Check Variable Configurator Database option in the
General tab of Tools Options to automatically check the properties
of a variable against the Variable Configurator database. When this
option is selected, the Editor determines whether:
D global variables used in the program are declared in the Variable
Configurator database
D global variables using Retained Value initialization are declared
as nonĆvolatile
D global timer and counter variables are nonĆvolatile
D array variables used in the program have the same dimension as
those defined in the Variable Configurator database
The Editor checks the Variable Configurator database by default.
To automatically check the Variable Configurator database while
verifying a program
Step 1.
From the Tools menu, choose Options.
Step 2. On the General tab, select the Check Variable
Configurator Database option in the Verify group box.
Step 3. To accept the change, click OK or Apply.
Tip
Deselecting this option prevents the Editor from checking the
Variable Configurator database. This makes verifying a program
faster. However, you cannot install and run a program that contains
global variables that are not defined in the Variable Configurator
database.
