FactoryTalk View commands

This appendix describes:

Where and how to use FactoryTalk View commands.

Using absolute and relative references.

Creating symbols.

Using the Command Wizard.

For details about specific FactoryTalk View commands, see the FactoryTalk View Site
Edition Help.

Using commands in a FactoryTalk View SE application

In a FactoryTalk View SE application, you can use commands in:

Boxes that require you to enter an action.

For example, use a command as the press, release, or repeat action when you attach
touch animation to an object in a graphic display, or as the action for a button.

Macros or symbols.

The command line.

Commands take precedence over macros. For example, if you have a macro called
Display, the Display command will run whenever you try to run the Display macro.

How to use commands

When typing commands, or building them using the Command Wizard, keep the
following guidelines in mind:

In the descriptions of commands in the Help, parameters enclosed in angle brackets
<> are required and parameters enclosed in square brackets [ ] are optional.

Parameters do not have to be entered in the order they are listed in Help.

Commands and parameters are not case sensitive.

To use several commands in sequence, start each new command on a new line, or
separate commands on the same line with a semicolon (;).
