iTOOLS VERSION 6.20: HELP MANUAL7.4.4 MAKING A WIRE BETWEEN BLOCKS (Cont.)Move this pointer to the parameter labelled 'Input' in the Alarm block, and left click to complete the wire.WIRE COLOURSDashed wires (not all devices) have not been downloaded to the instrument, and are therefore not beingexecuted.Black:Normal, functioning wire.Magenta: The mouse is hovering over a black wire or its source or destination block. This aidsidentification in densely packed wires.Grey, dashed:A wire marked for deletion at next downloadRed: The wire is connected to an input which is not alterable, or to an output which is not available forwiring. Values on the wire will be rejected by the input, or be indeterminate.Violet: The mouse is hovering over a red wire or its source or destination block. This aids identification indensely packed wires.TOOLTIPSIf the mouse is hovered over a wire, a tooltip appears, showing the source and destination parameters, and if thediagram has been downloaded, the current value of the source parameter.ROUTING WIRESWhen a wire is first made, it is autorouted by iTools, which tries to find a clear path amongst the functionblocks. A wire can be autorouted again, either by using the right mouse-click context menu, or by doubleclicking on the wire.If a wire segment is clicked-on, it is redrawn with small boxes at the corners, and each segment between theseboxes can be click-dragged to re-route it manually. iTools remembers that the wire has been re-routed, andshould the block subsequently be moved, as much as possible of the current shape of the path is preserved.HA028838 Page 31Issue 2 Jly 05
