5-5-4 Using Variables
In the case where the number of variables has increased, setting a display filter can reduce the number
of variables to be displayed on the Scene variable tab screen or System variable tab screen. In the dis-
play filter setting, specify the logical operation for the matching character strings and the matching char-
acter strings included in the variable names to display. Display the applicable variables based on the
result of the filter setting.

variable] tab.
The Scene variable tab screen or the System variable tab screen is displayed.
2 On the Variable button area, click [Filter].
The “Filter setting” dialog box is displayed.
3 Click [...] at the right of the “Filter setting” input text box and enter a matching character
string or a logical operation formula.
Enter a matching character string or a logical operation formula based on the following contents.
When emptying the “Filter setting” input text box, a filter set is cleared and all variables will be
displayed.
