You have two alternatives to the standard selection of blocks from the programming toolbar icons:
Alternative 1
-
Expand the catalog from the instruction tree.
-
Click the required block in the catalog to select it.
-
In your circuit program, left-click the block insert position. The block appears at the correct position.
-
To insert more than one instance of a block at a time, double-click the block, which causes LOGO!Soft Comfort to display a stamp icon beside the block. Left-click the locations on the programming interface for placing the multiple block instances.
|
Advantage: When you change between constants/terminals, basic functions and SFBs, you save yourself having to click the relevant icons in the programming toolbar.
Alternative 2
-
Open the catalog of the programming toolbar.
-
Click any block in the catalog to select it.
-
If you are creating a large program, you can close the catalog and also hide the programming toolbar.
-
Hold down the Ctrl key and left-click the block insert position in your circuit program. LOGO!Soft Comfort displays a mask with block list, from which you can select the required block with a double-click.
Tip: The mask header also contains an input field. You could, for example, enter the initial letter of the required SFB to restrict the display in the mask to a list of blocks with this initial. You thus do not have to browse the entire mask, and you can quickly find the relevant block. LOGO!Soft Comfort inserts the block at the correct position in your circuit program.
-
To insert further instances of this block, left-click the relevant insert positions.
|
Advantage: You do not have to depend on the catalog to create large programs. You can thus close and hide it to provide more screen space for your circuit program.
