Using CAAPE Graphics6.5.6.7. Transferring Equation DataCut and Paste or Drag and Drop can be used to transfer data within or betweenequations in the same or different sets of ladder logic. The following data transfers arepossible:• Single variable from one branch to another branch or to a different location on thesame branch.• Single parallel branch combination from one branch to another branch or to adifferent location on the same branch.• One or more branches from one parallel branch combination to another.• One or more branches to the horizontal line of another branch. A parallelcombination of the transferred branches is created at the target location.• Multiple variables and parallel branch combinations to the horizontal line of anotherbranch. The data is added in series at that location.• One or more variables and branch data combinations to the vertical line of a parallelbranch combination. A new branch is added to the combination, and the data isplaced there.• One or more results from one equation to another.Variable and result names are copied to the Clipboard as plain text as well as in theirinternal format, and can therefore be pasted into grids or other controls that accept textdata. Text names from a grid or other source can be pasted onto an equation branch toinsert variables of those names.6.5.6.8. Variable Selection ListWhen a single input variable or result is selected, a combo box with available names isdisplayed. To change the name, choose one from the drop-down list or type in the newname and press the Enter key. To close the list without changing the variable or resultname, press the Esc key or click outside the boundary of the combo box.Right clicking over the combo box produces a popup menu. Click Accept to change thename of the input variable or result. Click Set Filtering to change the variable typefiltering.6.5.6.9. Setting Internal Variable TypesEquation variable or result names can be declared as internal variables directly from thelogic view by using the appropriate popup menu.P2512A, Rev.
