Chapter 2 Navigate the Function Block Editor Interface

Message Pane

The message pane on the bottom of the Function Block Editor
displays the results when you verify logic. If the Function Block Editor
finds an error in your logic, click on the error or warning message in
the message pane and the cursor goes to the place in the Function
Block Editor where the error is in the logic.

The message pane also displays the number of function blocks that
are remaining in the device.

From the View menu, you can toggle between displaying the message
pane or not displaying it.

Status Bar

The Status bar, located on the bottom of the Function Block Editor,
provides a view of the current working status of the Function Block
Editor. You can toggle between displaying the Status Bar and not
displaying it by selecting View > Status Bar.

There are six panes that provide unique information about the
Function Block Editor.
