Output Window

The Output Window is a floatable and dockable window that Do-more Designer uses to display Error, Warning, and Info messages during project development. These output messages are generated by the following operation:

 

  • Selecting Accept (F8) operation while editing a code-block.
     

  • Running a Program Check.
     

  • Import Project will report syntax errors such as unknown instructions, unknown elements, invalid parameter type.
     

  • Import Documentation will report syntax errors such as unknown elements, invalid nicknames.
     

  • If changes are made to the System Configuration that affect the contents of existing code-blocks or views (like deleting a data block), the resolution of these issues are logged to the Output Window
     

  • After PID auto-tune the new tuning constants are displayed here.
     

  • Search and Replace reports errors here.
     

  • After connecting to a PLC with an existing Do-more project, if there are inconsistencies between the online and offline System Configurations, the user is notified that online status will remain DISABLED until the inconsistency is resolved.

 

 

The Error, Warning, and Info buttons in the upper left corner control whether messages from those classes are displayed in the list or not. By default, all three buttons are pressed, which will include messages from all three classes. Clicking on one of the buttons (so that it appears NOT depressed) will remove messages of that class from the list.

 

Double-clicking on a message in the list will place the edit cursor on the rung of ladder logic that contains the programming element that is causing the Error, Warning, or Info condition.

 

The Window-> Clear Output Window menu selection will remove all of the contents from the Output Window.
