Create Visualization

You get a list of the text variables for the language currently used in the visualization. It includes a reference to the title of this list, for example "1=german" as reference to the title [german]. You can extend the list by copying all lines, then replacing the German by English text and setting a new title [english]. Beyond the line 1=german you accordingly have to add 2=english.

To view the visualization in one of the prepared languages, open the dialog Language again. In the option field beyond Language now you can choose between german and english (for the example described above).

Note:

The text display does not change before switching to Online Mode !

Calling up language-dependent Online Help via a visualization element:

The calling of a different Help file with a visualization element can be tied in with the language currently entered for the visualization. For this purpose, the command INTERN HELP must be entered for this element in the 'Configure element' dialog at the location 'Execute program', and a [Visu-Helpfiles] section must be present in the WAGO-I/O-PRO 32 .ini file. Below this, the corresponding help files must be assigned to the languages available for selection in the visualization: e.g.:

[Visu-Helpfiles]

German=C:\PROGRAMME\HELP_D.HLP

English=C:\PROGRAMME\HELP_E.HLP

8.2.4.10Operation over the keyboard - in online mode

The visualization elements can be manipulated in online mode over the following key functions:

Visualization • 267

Create Visualization

Pressing the <Tabulator> key selects the first element in the element list for which an input is configured. Each subsequent pressing of the key moves one to the next element in the list. Pressing the key while keeping the <Shift> key depressed selects the previous element.

The arrow keys can be used to change from a selected element to a neighbouring one in any direction.

The <Space bar> is used to execute an activity on the selected visualization element. If the element is one which has a text output variable, a text input field will be opened which displays the text contents of the variable. Pressing the <Enter> key writes in this value.

The individual elements of references behave in Online mode identically to the corresponding ones in the visualization that is referenced. They will therefore react the same way as individual elements to inputs and operation by mouse and keyboard; the display of tooltips in references is also elementdependent. When processing the element list, as for instance when jumping from one input element to the next using the tabulator, the processing of all individual elements of a reference proceeds from the location of the reference in the element list before jumping to the next element of the list.

Note:

Operation over the keyboard in online mode is of greatest significance for the operation version of WAGO-I/O-PRO 32!

8.2.4.11'File' 'Print' in online mode

'File' 'Print'is used to print out the contents of the visualization window in online mode. Visualizations which stretch over the border of the window can lead to inconsistencies particularly when there are moving elements in the visualization.

8.2.4.12Visualizations in libraries

Visualizations can also be stored in libraries and thus be made available to projects as library POUs. They can be inserted as references like the visualizations directly present in the project, or they can be called up via the command "Zoom to vis." in the input configuration of another visualization.

Note:

Visualizations used in a project must have unique names. It can be problematic if for instance a visualization from a library is called or referenced which has the same name as one present in the project. Because, in processing references or visualization calls in the program, first the visualizations in the project, and only thereafter the ones in the loaded libraries will be implemented.
