Using several watch tables (Watchtabelle_temp)
If you want to monitor several watch tables simultaneously (watch tables of different objects),
create a temporary watch table.
The temporary watch table has the following properties:
● It is always called Watchtabelle_temp
● It does not save the contents when it is closed
● It can be filled using drag-and-drop
● It does not support control records
● With dropped watch tables, it does not display any control values (control checkmarks are
not set).
● Transfers the control values and control checkmarks; Create copy transfers them to the
copy of the temporary watch table.
Using a temporary watch table
1. Click Watchtabelle_temp below Monitoring in the project navigator.
The temporary watch table is displayed in the detail view.
2. Drag the required watch tables to the temporary watch table using drag-and-drop.
The watch tables are arranged one below the other.
