Programming interface
LOGO!Soft Comfort program mode starts with an empty circuit diagram.
The programming interface for creating your circuit programs occupies the greater part of the screen. The icons and logical links of the circuit program are arranged on this programming interface.
To help you to maintain an overview of large circuit programs, the right side and the bottom of the programming interface contain scroll bars, which you can use for vertical and horizontal scrolling of the circuit program.

Project interface
LOGO!Soft Comfort project mode starts with the empty user interface of LOGO!Soft Comfort. After you choose and add a new device in the project, LOGO!Soft Comfort enables the diagram editor frame.
LOGO!Soft Comfort displays a Network view in the project interface that shows the devices and network connections. The Diagram editor displays the program blocks and logical links of the circuit program. Initially, the circuit program is empty.
To help you to maintain an overview of large circuit project and programs, the right side and the bottom of the Network view and programming interface contain scroll bars, which you can use for vertical and horizontal scrolling of the circuit program.

The top of the LOGO!Soft Comfort window contains the menu bar. Here, you can find various commands for editing and managing your circuit programs, as well as functions for defining your default settings and for transferring of the circuit program to and from LOGO!.
Toolbars
LOGO!Soft Comfort provides the following four toolbars:
Standard toolbar
The standard toolbar appears above the programming interface. Initially, LOGO!Soft Comfort shows you a reduced standard toolbar that provides only the essential functions.
The standard toolbar provides direct access to the essential functions of LOGO!Soft Comfort.
After you have opened a circuit program for editing on the programming interface, you can see the complete standard toolbar.
You can use the icons to create a new circuit program or to download, save an existing program or project, cut/copy and paste objects, undo/redo the last action, or initiate data transfer to and from LOGO! devices.
Programming toolbar
The top of the programming interface contains programming toolbar. You can use the icons on this toolbar to change to other editing modes, or for quick and easy creation or editing of a circuit program.
You can use the icons to connect/comment/align the blocks, redo/undo the last action, add the functional blocks, split windows, simulation/online test the diagram and expand/collapse the parameter box.

|
The LAD Editor no longer contains the Basic function (GF) icon, because you create logical "AND" and "OR" links by interconnecting individual blocks. |
Simulation toolbar
This toolbar is only relevant for the simulation of circuit programs.
Status bar
The status bar is located at the bottom of the program window. It shows the currently active tool, the program status, the zoom factor, the page number of the circuit program and the selected LOGO! device.
