Debugging screens are used to debug a project. They are used to display the status of inputs and outputs on a channel, the contents of the registers, the possible faults and to control language objects (setting to 0 or 1, forcing or unforcing a bit, etc.) They can therefore only be accessed in on-line mode.
They also give access to
... and
... screens.
There are two debugging screens:
-
a minimized screen, to monitor the how the project functions on the counting or measurement channel. It displays the main data: contents of registers, status of inputs and outputs, fault indicators.
-
a maximized screen for debugging. It is used to view and control language objects.
Switching from one to the other is immediate, and there is no need to stop the project or counting in progress.
Opening a module in on-line mode displays the minimized debugging screen by default.
