4. For example, to view the status of a marker in the Properties
field window, simply double-click the marker you wish to
monitor.
5. Click the Stop button to stop the simulation.
Establishing a Connection
with the Device Now that we have tested the circuit diagram, let's download it to the
device. To do this, connect your device to the PC using the
1760-CBL-PM02 cable available as an accessory.
Choose Communication, Interface, select the interface required
(COM 1 ... 4), and then click the Communication tab to move to the
Communication View.
When you move to Communication View, PicoSoft Pro will
immediately try to establish a connection to the device. The
Communication View will appear without any error messages if this is
successful.
If, however, the connection fails, a corresponding error message will
appear, although the Communication View will still open. You must
then check the connection between the device and the PC once more
and, if necessary, select another COM interface. Choose
Communication, Online to start another attempt to establish a
connection to the device.
The Communication View is also divided into three sections. It
looks very much like the Simulation View and contains the Toolbox
[1], a Properties field [2] and a Circuit Diagram [3] like the last two
views described. The “Communication View” with its three divisions is
shown below.
TIP
Ensure that no other application is currently running
on the interface you have selected.
