The two blank rectangles in the dialog box are editing fields where you can enter
values instead of point or icon connections. For example, in the PID dialog box, you
can type an engineering unit table ID and value for the W variable, instead of
connecting W to a point or control icon. For engineering unit, enter the
corresponding index number. Appendix E: Engineering Units in Excel CARE User
Guide 74-5587 (US) / EN2B-0182 (Europe) lists engineering units and their index
numbers.
If a variable does not have editing fields next to it, you cannot type values for a
connection; you must connect it to another icon or a point.
