2.4.4.1 Creating a Library File
The following steps describe creating a library
file:
(1) Either use the computer's mouse or the
and arrow keys to select all of the
text that will be saved in the library file.
NOTES: Protected text (Tables, Execution
Intervals) cannot be copied into a library file.
Entire instructions, including all of the
parameters, must be selected.
(2) Select EDIT | CUT or EDIT | COPY.
(3) Select EDIT | SAVE CLIPBOARD TO
LIBRARY FILE.
(4) When a window appears, type-in the Library
file name.
(5) Select OK with the computer's mouse or
press tab until the cursor is on OK and
press enter.
2.4.4.2 Inserting a Library File into a
Program
The following steps describe inserting a library
file into an EDLOG program:
(1) Move cursor to the location where the text
will reside.
(2) Select EDIT | IMPORT LIBRARY FILE.
(3) When a window appears, select the desired
library file's name. The file name is
selected by typing it in, by using the
computer's mouse, or by using the tab key
to get to the Files section and then using
the arrow keys to move the cursor to the
desired file.
(4) Select OK with the computer's mouse or
press tab until the cursor is on OK and
press enter.
(5) The library file is now copied into the
EDLOG program.
2.4.5 RENUMBERING THE INSTRUCTIONS
When Automatic Renumbering is enabled, the
instructions are automatically renumbered
whenever instructions are inserted or deleted.
By default automatic renumbering is enabled.
To improve performance on slow computers,
the Automatic Renumbering can be disabled by
selecting OPTION | EDITOR OPTIONS. Use
the key to place the cursor on the
brackets and press the bar or select
the brackets with the computer's mouse. A
blank instead of an 'X' between the brackets
indicates this option is disabled. When
Automatic Renumbering is disabled, the user
can periodically renumber the instructions by
selecting DISPLAY | RENUMBER. This option
renumbers the table where the cursor is
located.
2.4.6 COMPRESS VIEW OPTION
When DISPLAY | COMPRESS VIEW is
selected, the first line of each instruction is
displayed. This enables the program structure
to be easily seen.
This option can also be used to advance to a
specific instruction. To advance to a specific
instruction, move the cursor to an instruction in
the compressed view’s window. By pressing
, the main window advances to the
selected instruction.
Instructions cannot be edited in the compress
view’s window. The F7 function key is used to
toggle between the compress view’s window
and the main window.
2.5 INPUT LOCATIONS
Each input location has an input location
number and a label that appears whenever the
input location is referenced in the program.
EDLOG automatically assigns input location
numbers as labels are entered.
2.5.1 ENTERING INPUT LOCATIONS
When a parameter designates an input location,
the cursor automatically is located between the
brackets, which is where the label is keyed-in.
When a new label is entered, the next available
input location number is automatically assigned
to that label. A list of existing labels can be
accessed by pressing the function key.
From this list, the user can select an existing
label.
