moniter bits while running machine
« on: June 14, 2007, 02:39:55 PM »
i'm used to using rs logic 500. this direct soft 5 logic is definately different but i'm trying to get used to it little by little. i'm able to link up but for the life of me i'm not able to monitor or see the input or output light up while the machine is running. is there a special button to push to see it live. i know i'mlinked up i can change it from run to program mode. please help!!!

Click on the button labeled STATUS (in the toolbar) while the ladder window is in focus. You'll need to do the same for a Data View.

i usually just click Debug -> All Status ON. that way status is ON for all current views and all newly created views.
Good design costs a lot. Bad design costs even more.
