After enabling viewing of special symbols, the Console symbol can be viewed as
shown in the following diagram.
The Console Logic Symbol in SIMPL Windows
When the program sends data on the TX$ signal of the Console symbol, the control
system interprets the console command just as if it was received via the RS-232 or
Ethernet console and outputs a serial string to the RX$ signal of the console symbol
which can be programatically interpreted.
User Program Commands Symbol
Use the User Program Commands symbol to send data typed at the console to the
program. This feature is available for advanced programmers of SIMPL Windows.
The User Program Commands logic symbol only appears in the System Control
folder in the Symbol Library, after enabling a special symbol set for display. To
enable this set while in SIMPL Windows, select Edit | Preferences, which opens the
"SIMPL Windows Preferences" window. In the Symbol Set area of the General tab,
select Special as shown in the following diagram.
