iTOOLS VERSION 6.20: HELP MANUAL7.3.1 THE MAIN WINDOW (Cont.)THE TREE VIEWThis window contains:CommentMonitorIOA list of function block typesCommentTo add a comment to the wiring diagram, click/drag the Comment item from the Tree View to the MainWindow. A text entry box appears to allow the user to enter the comment text, followed by 'OK'. The textentry box closes, and the comment box appears in the wiring diagram at the point at which the mouse buttonwas released.To link the comment to another item, hover the mouse pointer over the bottom right-hand corner of thecomment box, then click on the 'link' symbol which appears there.Release the mouse button,click again.Note: For some devices, new items are drawn with 'dashed' outlines until the file has been down-loaded to the device. For all devices, the Link Line is dashed both before and after downloading.and move the mouse cursor to the point to which the comment is to be linked, andMonitorMonitor windows are added to the wiring diagram using the same method as described above for Comments(except that the monitor points do not have a text entry window). Monitor windows are linked to the input oroutput of a function. Once the link is established, the displayed value changes from its initial ???????? to thecurrent value of the input or output point (e.g. PV = 1243.09).IOIO shows all the IO function block types and the instances in use in the wiring diagram.Function block typesNotes1. Where there is only one available instance of a function block type (Instrument for example)the tree cannot be expanded at this point.2. If a function block is in use on the diagram it is 'faded' in the tree view.3. If all available instances of a block have been used, the block type also becomes faded.4. Block names vary from device to device.To enable a block and make it available for wiring, click-drag either the type, or an instance of it, from the treeto the required position on the diagram. (If the type is dragged, the first available instance of that type will beused.)HA028838 Page 25Issue 2 Jly 05
