Chapter 6 - Operation
Opening mode for an application
Behaviour for applications when the controller is started up can be configured in the application selection window.
Three types of behaviour can be selected by pressing the Mode contextual menu key:
• Manual: No action on the application.
• Autoload: The application is opened automatically.
•Autostart: The application is opened and then started up automatically.
Note:
It is not possible to apply the "Autostart" mode to more than one application at a time.
Saving a VAL3 application
The Save pop-up menu enables you to save the VAL3 application in full in its original location.
All the information is saved as soon as the key has been pressed:
• The global datas and their current value.
• The application programs.
• The configuration data for the application.
During the saving process, the system is not available and the system activity indicator is displayed on the status
bar.
Exporting a VAL3 application
To save the application under another name or in another storage location, use the Exp. menu.
Online commands
The Cmd. menu provides access to an online command enabling you to display the variable values (using the "?")
and execute a VAL3 instruction line.
CAUTION:
The use of an online command during execution of a program may modify its behaviour.
