The names of the views of a file are assigned to the "View 1" to "More

can press the "More views" softkey to select the views stored in the
file in blocks of four.
The "Logging system variables" display is selected with the "Variable
log" softkey.

You can compile your own variable views.
The display of variables can be edited:
•
Layout (e.g., 2 columns with 2 rows) or
• Properties (e.g. name, display type, input limits).

The "Edit view" softkey changes to edit mode.
With "Insert variable", a dialog box is opened in which the required
system variable can be selected from a list using the cursor and the
"Edit" key. The full name of the variable appears in the info line.
It is included in a new line or column in the view with the "Input" key.

any existing user data by the same method. These user variables are
available in the respective GUD block even when no GUD definition

displayed with a variable can be edited.
