7.2.18 Declaration editor in online mode
In online mode, the declaration editor is a monitor window.
Every line contains a variable followed by an equal sign (=) and the variable value.
• Three question marks (???) will appear if the variable has not been defined yet.
Multi-element variables
Multi-element variables are identified with a plus sign.
• Press <Enter> or double-click the variable to open it and to list all components. The variable
will then be identified with a minus sign.
• Double-click or press <Enter> again to hide the components and to return the plus sign.
Single-element variables
Press <Enter> or double-click a single-element variable to open the dialog box for writing a variable.
The current variable value can be changed by entering a new value. In the case of Boolean variables,
the value will be toggled without dialog box display.
The new value (now represented in a different colour) will not be written to the control immediately.
• Thus any number of variables can be modified and then written to the control in one go
(cycle-consistent).

Positioning the mouse pointer briefly over a variable in online mode will display a tool tip with the
variable’s type and any comments.
Only the variable type is displayed in offline mode.
