Inside the terminal grid control there are drop-down list boxes, text boxes,
and context menus that you can use to modify the terminal information.

the same time by dragging your mouse across contiguous fields or by
holding down the Control key while selecting non-contiguous fields.
You can also select multiple terminals if you want the terminals to carry
the same information.
■ If you want to modify the terminals one at a time, either make your
changes on the PLC Database File Editor dialog box (using the
drop-down list boxes or text boxes) or select a single terminal (making
sure to select the entire row if you want to change more than one
field), click the right mouse button, and select Edit Terminal from the
