5.8 Display system variables
The names of the views of a file are assigned to the vertical softkeys
"View 1" to "More views". If a file contains more than five views, you
can press softkey "More views" to select the views stored in the file in
blocks of four.
The display "Logging system variables" is selected with the softkey
"Variable log".
Function
You can compile your own views of variables. The display of variables
can be edited with respect to
·
Layout (e.g. 2 columns with 2 rows) and
· Properties (e.g. name, display type, input limits).
Operating sequence
The softkey "Edit view" changes to edit mode.
With "Insert variable", a dialog box is opened in which the required
system variable can be selected from a list with 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.
The variable is inserted after the cursor position.
Confirm your input with OK.
By selecting softkey "Insert user variable", it is possible to access any
existing user data by the same method. These user variables are
available in the respective GUD block even when no GUD definition
files are activated. The NCK does not assign a $ as initial character.
The softkey "Properties" opens a dialog box in which the text
displayed with a variable can be altered.
