5.11.4 I/O Monitor Command (Tools Menu)
The I/O Monitor window lets you monitor all controller hardware inputs and outputs and
also memory I/O. There are up to four views available: one standard view and three
custom views.
On the standard view, there are two grids. For each grid you can specify which type and
size of I/O to monitor.
For each custom view, you can specify a list of any combination of input, output, or
memory. By default, there is one custom view available. To use the other two custom
views, right click on a tab and check the views you want to be visible. See the section
Custom I/O Views later in this chapter.
Labels that have been defined using the I/O Label Editor are displayed next to each bit,
byte, or word.
After the I/O Monitor window has been opened, the input and output status for the current
view is constantly updated.
The I/O monitor will always be displayed on top of other child windows, such as program
windows and point windows.
If a description has been entered for an I/O port (bit, byte, or word) in the I/O Label Editor,
then a tool tip will be displayed when the mouse pointer is over the row containing the port.
You can turn outputs on and off by double clicking on the output LED images in the Status
column.
To open the I/O Monitor
Select I/O Monitor from the Tools Menu.
Or
Click on the
tool bar button.
Or
Type Ctrl + I.
Using the I/O Monitor
Select the tab for the type of I/O you want to monitor.
Scroll through the grids to locate the desired inputs or outputs to monitor.
You can split each grid into two scroll regions by selecting the split bar in the upper right
corner of the grid and dragging it down. Each scroll region can be individually scrolled.
To turn an output off or on, double click on the LED image for the desired output.
When Virtual I/O is active, you can turn input bits on and off by double clicking on the
input LED images in the Status column.
