Symbol Field Width

The default field width for symbols is 15 characters. You can specify from nine to

fifteen characters as the field width. Changes to the field width affect new

database records only. Existing records remain the same.

[F9]

Bit Address Display Mode

Toggle this option between

Split Line

and

Single Line

. This determines whether

the bit number on the ladder appears next to the word address above the instruction

(Single Line), or separately below the instruction (Split Line).

[Ctrl-F1]

Data Base Search Path

This option specifies the path in which to look for data base files when going

online. This path functions like DOS’ path command; you can separate multiple

paths with a semi-colon ( ; ), and an asterisk ( * ) at the end of a path causes the

software to search sub-directories.

[Ctrl-F2]

Start ONLINE in Who Active

When set to

Yes

, Who Active will start whenever you go online. If set to

No

, Who

Active will start only if you have selected an incorrect address to go online with.

[Ctrl-F3]

‘B’inary Bit Display Mode

Toggle the display mode for Binary files between

/Bit

and

Word/Bit

. Word/Bit

mode treats the file as a series of words, and addresses the word and bit within the

word. For example, B3:1/5. /Bit mode treats the file as a series of bits. Bits are

simply numbered consecutively without word divisions. In /Bit mode, the address

B3:1/5 would be B3/21.
