Edit
If you wish to change the definition of an existing GPL
variable, select the variable using the mouse or keyboard and
choose Edit. You would need to use edit if you entered the
wrong name of a variable, or selected the wrong providing
project. In the Edit Network Variable dialog, change the
variable name or Providing Project as required.
Delete
If you wish to delete a variable from the variable list, select
the variable using the mouse or keyboard and choose Delete.
If the W INTERPRET Prompt for Delete Option is on, you must
confirm your delete selection in the subsequent delete prompt.
If the Prompt for Delete Option is off, the variable is deleted
from the list without further prompts.
Exiting the GPL Configuration Editor
You can exit the GPL configuration editor by choosing either
Save or Cancel. Choose Save if you have made changes to the
GPL configuration (or wish to compile the configuration
whether you have made changes or not). Choose Cancel if you
wish to Exit without saving or compiling any changes that
may have been made.
If you choose Save, the GPL configuration is saved to a
W
INTERPRET system subdirectory called 2NET_DIR.
W INTERPRET then prompts you to compile the GPL
configuration. Normally you should always choose Yes. If you
choose No, a warning dialog reports that the saved
configuration is not compiled.
When you choose Yes to compile, the GPL configuration is
compiled to build the Input and Output Templates for each
participating project. W
INTERPRET examines the I/O, shared
variable and serial ports definitions for each participating
project during the compile process. The compiler checks the
following things.
1) Each project has one or more network ports defined.
2) The network ports for an individual project have the same
node number (actually checked by the serial ports editor).
3) The node numbers for each project are unique.
