To build a status chart, follow these steps:
1. Enter the address (or symbol name) for each desired value in the Address field. Symbol
names must be names that you have already defined in the symbol table.
2. If the element is a bit (I, Q, or M, for example), the format is set as bit in the Format
column. If the element is a byte, word, or double word, select the drop-down list in the
Format column and select the valid format from the available options.
3. To insert an additional row, use one of the following methods:
– Click the insert button on the status chart toolbar and select "Row".
– From the Insert area of the Edit menu ribbon strip, click the "Row" button.
– Right-click a cell in the status chart to bring up a context menu, and select the menu
command
.
The new row is inserted above the current location of the cursor in the status chart.
You can also place the cursor in the last cell of the last row and press the DOWN
ARROW key to insert a row at the bottom of the status chart.
Building a status chart from a section of program code
Highlight a selection of networks in the program editor, right-click, and select "
from the context menu. The new chart contains an entry for each unique operand in
the selected region for which status can be gathered. STEP 7-Micro/WIN SMART places the
entries in the order of their occurrence in the program, gives the chart a default name, and
adds this chart after the last tab in the status chart editor.
When creating a chart from the program editor, note that only the first 150 addresses can be
added each time you select
. After STEP 7-Micro/WIN SMART creates
the status chart, you can edit the chart entries.
