5.5 Monitoring Data in an Online Program
While a program is running online, the data is displayed as follows:
D Forced variables are highlighted in the Forced Variable color,
defined via the Color Option tab of the Program Properties.
D Numeric values are displayed under the variable name. You can
define the data display format using the Variable Properties tab
for the variable but only in an offline program.
D A timer's elapsed value is displayed under the timer variable
name.
D A counter's current value is displayed under the counter variable
name.
D If the preset of a timer or counter variable is changed via logic,
the new preset value is displayed under the original preset value.
D For variables using element or bitĆindexing, the display format is
that of the base variable. For example, if you specified variable
array to be displayed as decimal and the variable element to be
displayed in hexadecimal, the value of the variable array[element]
would be displayed in decimal.
D For elementĆindexed array variables (array[element]), the value
displayed is that of the element.
5.6 Accepting Changes Made to Online
Programs
After editing an online program, you must approve the changes
before the Editor can download them to the Processor by using the
Online menu's Accept command. You can accept modified, added,
or deleted rungs either individually or as a group. You can also
reject any change. Rejected changes are not recoverable.
You do not have to accept changes to an online program that are
made through the Set/Force/Unforce dialog box or that caused the
initial value of a variable to be changed because these changes take
effect immediately.
