How to Change Variable Values via the Visualization

In addition to displaying values from the controller, a user interface is also used to enter and change values.

In general, you can configure user input for each element in its “Input configuration” properties. Moreover, elements have been developed especially for specific input.

Examples:

A “Button” element (or “Rectangle” element, and so on) that is clicked to open a predefined dialog visualization for easily specifying a value.
A “Slider” element for changing the value of a variable by moving visual element parts, for example with the mouse. In the case of the slider: The element adjusts the value of a variable, depending on the position of the slider within the slider. You define the value range of the slider bar by means of the scale start and scale end.
A switch element (example; “Power Switch”) for setting a Boolean value.
A “Spin Box” element for incrementing or decrementing the value of a variable in defined intervals.
A “Button” element for writing a recipe, executing a specific ST code, writing a specific variable, and so on (definition in the input configuration).
