Using Notes

PicoSoft Pro enables you to attach notes to individual rungs to add
comments to your circuit diagram. To use these freely definable
comments, switch to Circuit Diagram View (for example, via View,
Circuit Diagram
).

We are now going to attach a note to our circuit diagram. To do this,
proceed as follows:

1. Left-click the Note button

in the toolbar. The mouse will

change to the shape of a Note.

2. Position your mouse between two rungs (e.g. 1 and 2) and place

the note by left-clicking the mouse. The entire writable range is
highlighted in color.

3. The Properties field will then show a text entry area in which

you can enter the comment (e.g. Test). Click Apply to transfer
the entered text to the note.

.

Working with notes:

• If the notes get in the way when you are wiring the circuit

diagram, you can show or hide them as required by choosing
View, Note.

• You can click and drag a note to a different rung.

TIP

The connection to the device will be cleared as soon
as the Communication View is closed. PicoSoft Pro
will therefore deactivate the menu items in the
Communication menu. The only exception to this is
the COM interface selection.

TIP

Notes must be visible (factory setting) otherwise use the

button to make notes visible.
