iTOOLS VERSION 6.20: HELP MANUAL7.4.6 Addition of Monitor PointsMonitor 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 or a wire.Once the link is established, the displayed value changes from its initial ???????? to the current value of the inputor output point (e.g. PV = 1243.09). If the parameter name is not required, it can be removed by right-clickingon the link symbol, and disabling 'Show Names'. Show Names can subsequently be re-enabled if required.It is possible to link a monitor window to any of the block's parameters, by clicking on the link symbol, then onthe 'Chip' icon and selecting a parameter (In2Mul in the example below) from the list.7.4.7 Making selectionsSelections are made by clicking on the relevant item. Selected wires are shown with small blocks at theircorners; all other items are surrounded with a dashed line when selected. Selecting a block automatically alsoselects any wires associated with it.To select more than one item, < Ctrl> should be operated when the required items are clicked, or the mousecan be click-dragged to encompass all the required items, and then released.7.4.8 Item ColoursItems are normally drawn in blackExceptions:Red, magenta and violet wires, as described in 'Wire Colours' above.Items which obscure, or which are partially obscured by other items are drawn in red.Parameters in function blocks are in black if they are Read/Write, or blue if they are Read Only. If a parameterin a function block is unavailable, the parameter name has a grey background.When the mouse is over a parameter, the parameter text turns magenta.Function blocks, comments and monitors which are not drawn in red, turn magenta when the mouse pointerhovers over them.HA028838 Page 33Issue 2 Jly 05
