To search for signals
If you perform a search in the Variable Explorer, only the Display Name column
is used for the search. The search is executed for all signals that are currently lis-
ted in the Variable Explorer.
If you perform a search in a category, only entries matching the search criteria
are shown in the category list.
If you perform a search in the Configuration Manager, the search is executed for
signals already being in use and assigned to an instrument. For more inform-
ation, see "Searching within the Configuration" on page120.
Do the following:
1. Bring the focus to the search field window.
2. Enter your search string.
For search queries, take the following rules into account:
l The search is not case-sensitive; it finds data, even if the cap-
italization in the text is different from the capitalization in the
search term.
l You can use the ? and * characters as wildcards in your search
string.
l By default, the search string is appended to the "*" wildcard in the
search field. If you want to search for data starting with a specific
string, position the cursor in front of this wildcard.
l If you have additionally used filters, a logical AND is applied
between the search and the filters of the other columns.
The matching search string is highlighted in the Display Name column. If this
column is currently not displayed, unhide the column. For more information, see
"To show or hide columns" on page42.
