The mouse pointer takes the form of a question mark. After clicking an element with the
question mark, the "What's This?" help opens. The links provided in the "What's This?" help
enable you to access the WinCC Information System. It contains further information, step-by-
step instructions and examples.
Documentation outside the WinCC Information System
Help appears directly on the following topics:
● "PROFIBUS DP" Channel (communication)
●
"SIMATIC 505 TCPIP" Channel (communication)
By clicking the "Search" and "Index" buttons, only the above individual documents are
accessed. To search the entire WinCC Information System, click the "Global Search" button.
Accessing the WinCC Information System
If further help is requested from the "What's This?" help, a window opens containing the WinCC
Information System. You are directed to the chapter containing information related to your
"What's This" query. The title of the superordinated chapter appears in the window header. If
another link to the WinCC Information System is selected from the "What's This?" help, a
second window is opened.
Note
Close the windows that are not currently required. This helps limiting the number of open
windows.
