By using this button you can disable or enable the user management in the Debug, by putting the project in Runtime from the development environment. This function is very handy when carrying out project tests without having to activate or deactivate the password management. This also safeguards against accidentally leaving the password management disabled after having completed the test run. |
This command allows you to insert a new Multiple Resource in the "Project Explorer" window. In this case, five resources can be inserted with the possibility of creating simple folders. By keeping the mouse button pressed down on the icon, for at least a second, a drop down menu will open containing six icons for selecting the resources to be inserted. Normally the tool bar displays the icon of the last resource selected. The choices are as follows:
|
New Menu. Inserts a new menu into the previously selected folder from 'Menu' Group in the 'Project Explorer' window.
|
|
New Shortcut. Inserts a new Shortcut into the previously selected folder from 'Shortcuts' Group in the 'Project Explorer' window.
|
|
New Basic Script. Inserts a new Basic Script into the previously selected folder from 'Basic Script' Group in the 'Project Explorer' window.
|
|
New Screen. Inserts a new Screen into the previously selected folder from 'Screens' Group in the 'Project Explorer' window.
|
|
New Parameter File. Inserts a new Parameter File in the pre-selected folder within the "Parameter File" in the 'Project Explorer' window.
|
|
New Folder. Creates a new folder in the pre-selected position within the "Multiple Resource" in the 'Project Explorer' window. Structuing "Multiple Resouce" groups with folders and sub-folders helps you organize the project's resources better but does not change its way of functioning.
|
This command allows you to Run the project. There are four runtime modes that can be executed from the management environment. By keeping the mouse button pressed down on the icon for at least one second you will get a drop down menu containing the four icons for selecting the mode to be activated. Normally the last selected Run modality is displayed in the Tool Bar. The choices are the following:
|
Start Project. Executes the project Runtime in the usual way. |
|
Run Screen. Only runs the project's graphics. This means that only the graphical and animation part of the project will be run and not the Communication Drivers, the Data Loogers, etc. |
|
Step Mode. The project is run one step at a time. The programmer has to confirm the execution of the next step. The same goes for the project stop phase. This modality is very handy to identify which phase generates the error when problems arise at the project startup. |
|
Attach Running. When using this mode, Movicon will propose a browse window from which you can select a PC, local or network, on which a Movicon project is already running. You will then be able to interact with the project by using the "Watch Window" for executing any debugs for instance. |
