1. You can identify the origin of an assigned signal via the identifier
of the measure file. Do one of the following:
In the Variable Explorer, make the File ID column visible. For
more information, see "To show or hide columns" on page 46.
In the Configuration Manager, expand the tree view until the
signals are shown. The identifier of the measure file is dis-
played in front of the signal name, and the tooltip shows the
file name.
Bring the instrument in which the signal is used into the fore-
ground. The identifier of the measure file is displayed in front
of the signal name, and the tooltip shows the file name.
For calculated signals, a square root symbol is shown as file iden-
tifier. If the measure file has been removed from the con-
figuration, a "?" is displayed instead of the identifier.
If you have replaced the measure file and the signal is not part of
the new file, the former identifier still remains visible but the sig-
nal is indicated as a "No-Match" signal.
1. Do one of the following:
In the Variable Explorer, make the Error column visible. For
more information, see "To show or hide columns" on page 46.
If a signal contains an error or warning, a corresponding icon
is displayed in this column.
In the Configuration Manager, expand the tree view until the
signals are shown. If an assigned signal contains an error or
warning, a corresponding icon is displayed next to the signal
name.
Bring the instrument in which the signal is used into the fore-
ground. If an assigned signal contains an error or warning, a
corresponding icon is displayed next to the signal name.
