want to replace.
2. In the context menu, select Replace Signal.
A dialog appears.

l
in an instrument
l
Everywhere (which includes all instruments and input signals for cal-
culated signals)
4. In the search box, enter the signal name that you want to use for the
replacement.
5. Click on the signal name or press the Enter key.
The result of the signal replacement is shown in the status bar.

culated signal.
6.6 Displaying Signal Information
You can perform the following actions:
"To identify the origin of a signal" below
"To display errors and warnings of a signal" on the next page
"To display the metadata of an assigned signal" on the next page
To identify the origin of a signal
1. You can identify the origin of an assigned signal via the identifier of the
measure file. Do one of the following:
l
In the Variable Explorer, make the File ID column visible. For more inform-
ation, see "To show or hide columns" on page94.
l
In the Configuration Manager, expand the tree view until the signals are
shown. The identifier of the measure file is displayed in front of the sig-
nal name, and the tooltip shows the file name.
l
Bring the instrument in which the signal is used into the foreground. The
identifier of the measure file is displayed in front of the signal name, and
the tooltip shows the file name.
For calculated signals, a square root symbol is shown as file identifier. If the
measure file has been deleted from the configuration, a "?"is displayed
instead of the identifier.
If you have replaced the measure file and the signal is not part of the new
file, the former identifier still remains visible but the signal is indicated as a
"No-Match" signal.
