At a Glance
The minimized debug screen is used to monitor the operation of a project at counting module level. It displays the status of inputs, outputs and main channel bits, contents of registers, and possible faults.
To switch to the maximized screen, just click on the second Debug tab.

There are three indicators in the same field that provide the status of module in online:
  • RUN indicates the operating status of the module.
  • ERR signals an internal error to the module.
  • I/O signals an external error or an application error to the module.

Current parameters field
This zone displays the status of the inputs and outputs and the various counting parameters in progress. If the contents of the counting register cannot be used following an input fault, the Invalid measurement indicator or LED appear in red.
Note: with CTY 2A/4A modules only, the functions to be displayed in the extended screen can be selected in a window in the parameter field on the right. For the CTY 2C module, all functions will be displayed systematically.
