Enable Coordinate System Auto Tag Update
The Enable Coordinate System Auto Tag Update checkbox lets you determine
whether or not the Actual Position values of the current coordinated system
are automatically updated during operation. Click on the checkbox to enable
this feature. The Coordinate System Auto Tag Update feature can ease your
programming burden if you would need to add GSV statements to the
program in order to get the desired result. However, by enabling this feature
the Coarse Update rate is increased. Whether to use the Coordinate System
Auto Tag Update feature depends upon the trade-offs between ease in
programming and increase in execution time. Some users may want to enable
this feature in the initial programming of their system to work out the kinks
and then disable it and enter the GSV statements to their program to lower
their execution time.
Note: Enabling this feature may result in some performance penalty.
