Data Editor (Lite)
Original instructions
Overview
Data Editor Lite is a version of the Data Editor that is smaller in size and therefore faster to download, especially for use via a dial-up connection.
Data Editor Lite presents the same interface as the Data Editor, with the exception that its toolbar does not include the Read PLC Symbols function:
Variables
Data Editor Lite accepts the following IEC variables:
Address
Type
Display
%MW IEC internal word
INT
DECIMAL
%MD IEC double word
DINT
DECIMAL
%M IEC internal bits
BOOL
BOOLEAN
NOTE: You cannot access the Lookup Variable dialog and insert symbols into a data template using Data Editor Lite. You can insert only direct addresses.
Re-Using Data Editor Templates
Data Editor Lite can reuse the same templates created with the Data Editor. However, Data Editor templates can use a wider range of variable types than Data Editor Lite. When Data Editor Lite encounters a variable it cannot manage, it displays Not Supported as the data type. In this case, the variable cannot be edited using Data Editor Lite.
