Referenced Points List
The
Referenced Points list is an automatically-generated list of all objects (points,
default PPCL program variables, resident points, and program-defined local variables)
used in the open PPCL program. Once an object is automatically added to the
Referenced Points list, the check box to the left of the object can be selected or
deselected (default = deselected), allowing you to monitor that object. When
monitored, the value of the point is displayed and updated based on the currently
configured data refresh rate defined in the
Setup menu.
