Dialog 'Display Settings'dl-permalink__symbolPermalink

Function: The dialog includes the configuration for the display settings of the trace diagram (for both the X-axis and Y-axis) and provides a preview in the trace diagram.

Call: “Display” button in “Trace Configuration” dialog.

“Add Y-Axis”

Extends the trace diagram by one Y-axis.

Result: The “Trace Configuration” dialog contains an extended selection of Y-axes in the “Additional axes” option of the variable settings.

“Delete Y-axis”

Deletes the Y-axis with the visible tab.

Tab 'X-axis'

“Display Mode”

Scaling

  • “Auto”: _cds_icon_option_activated: CODESYS Scales automatically.

  • “Fixed length”: _cds_icon_option_activated: CODESYS displays a segment of constant “Length”.

  • “Fixed”: _cds_icon_option_activated: CODESYS displays a segment from “Minimum” to “Maximum”.

“Minimum”

Initial value of the segment. Requirement: The “Display Mode” is “Fixed”.

“Maximum”

End value of the segment. Requirement: The “Display Mode” is “Fixed”.

“Length”

Constant length of the segment.

“Grid”

_cds_icon_option_activated: Diagram with vertical grid lines. Select the line color from the list box of colors.
Table 726: “Tick marks”

“Fixed spacing”

_cds_icon_option_activated: CODESYS draws tick marks with “Distance” and “Subdivisions”.

“Distance”

Distance between tick marks

“Subdivisions”

Number of subdivisions between two tick marks

“Font”

Font for the X-axis

“Display Mode”

Scaling

  • “Auto”: _cds_icon_option_activated: CODESYS Scales automatically.

  • “Fixed”: _cds_icon_option_activated: CODESYS displays a segment from “Minimum” to “Maximum”.

“Minimum”

Literal, variable (integer data type), or constant variable (integer data type). It contains the initial value of the segment. Requirement: The “Display Mode” is “Fixed”.

Examples: ‎20,PLC_PRG.iLimit_Min, GVL.c_iLimit_Min‎

Note: The variable has to have an initial value. This is important for the offline display and the scaling subdivision. Example: ‎iLimit_Min : INT := 20‎

“Maximum”

Literal, variable (integer data type), or constant variable (integer data type). It contains the end value of the segment. Requirement: The “Display Mode” is “Fixed”.

Examples: ‎80,PLC_PRG.iLimit_Max, GVL.c_iLimit_Max‎

Note: The variable has to have an initial value. This is important for the offline display and the scaling subdivision. Example: ‎iLimit_Max : INT := 80‎

“Grid”

_cds_icon_option_activated: Diagram with a grid line. Select the line color from the list box of colors.

“Label”

_cds_icon_option_activated: The description is displayed on the axis.
Table 727: “Tick marks”

“Fixed spacing”

_cds_icon_option_activated: CODESYS draws tick marks with “Distance” and “Subdivisions”.

“Distance”

Distance between tick marks

“Subdivisions”

Number of subdivisions between two tick marks

“Font”

Font for the Y-axis

“Background color”

  • “No background”: Transparent display without background color.

  • “Draw background”: Background color according to selection below.

  • “From visualization style”: Background color as defined in the visualization style.

“Reset”

CODESYS resets all settings to the defaults.

“Use as default”

CODESYS saves the settings as default
