Enabling the status table
Enable the status chart so that the status information can be updated.
Procedure
If you wish to continually update the status information in the status chart, enable the chart status:
•
To do this, select the menu command "Test" > "Chart status".
or
•Click on the appropriate button in the function bar.
If you only require a "snapshot" of the values, execute the function "Single read":
•
Select the menu command "Test" > "Single read".
or
•Click on the appropriate button in the function bar.
Note
When the chart status is enabled, then the "Single read" function is deactivated.
Note
If the chart is still empty, then enabling the status chart has not effect: You must first create
your status chart by entering program values (addresses) in the "Address" column and you
must enter a data type in the "Format" column for each address (see "Creating a status chart
[Page 1141]" and "Data formats [Page 1143]").
