Status Window
The Status Window section contains a list of signals that are selected for monitoring.
The Status Window displays the following information for each signal:
• The type of signal: for analog, for serial, for high digital, and
for low digital.
• The signal name.
• Analog signal values, in decimal (default) or percent format. (To specify
percent format, select Show Analogs as Percent from the Options menu.)
• Serial signal values, in ASCII (default) or hexadecimal notation. (To
specify hex, select Show Serials as HEX from the Options menu.)
As digital signals transition in real time, the icon next to the signal changes to reflect
the new state. With analog and serial signals, the new value overwrites the previous
value.
Adding Signals to the Status
Window
Signals can be added to or deleted from the Status Window in a number of ways,
either from SIMPL Debugger or from SIMPL Windows.
There are three ways to add signals to the Status Window from SIMPL Debugger:
• Select Add Signal from the Status Window menu. This displays the list of
all signals in the program. Select the signal(s) of interest and click Add.
• Select the signal(s) of interest in the Trace Window and select Add Selected
Signals from Trace Window from the Status Window menu.
• Select the signal(s) of interest in the Trace Window and select Add Signals
to Status Window.
To remove signals from the Status Window, select the signal and click Remove
Signal, or click Remove All Signals to clear the Status Window.
There are two ways to add signals to the Status Window from SIMPL Windows:
• In Detail View, right-click the signal and select Set Watch.
• In Program View, right-click the signal and select Set/Clear Watch.
The signal name appears in bold, indicating that it has been added to the watch list
and is displayed in the Status Window.
To remove signals from the watch list, right-click the signal and select Clear Watch
if in Detail View, or select Set/Clear Watch if in Program View. This un-bolds the
signal name.
