Creating and Editing Tasks with the Task Manager
Selecting Task Print will print out the following for each of the tasks
selected:
D Task title page (task name, description, engineer, slot, priority,
critical, reconstructible, utility).
D Task documentation file
D Task source code
D Task cross reference file
If you deĆselect (unĆcheck) Task Print, the Custom Print options will
be enabled.
Select Source to print the source code (or ladder diagrams for PC
tasks).
Select Documentation to print the task documentation file.
Select Task Cross Reference to print the cross reference file for the
selected task(s).
Select Use Existing Cross Reference Files if you know that the
cross reference files are current. Selecting this option will save time
since new files will not be generated before printing. If cross
reference files do not already exist, they will be generated and
printed. Note that cross reference files generated by the print routine
will be deleted after printing.
Select Generate Log to create a log file that will list any errors that
may occur during the print job. The log file will exist under the rack
directory and will be named _PRINT.LOG. If there are no errors, the
log file will simply list the files that were printed.

Generating Task Cross Reference Files
Use the Generate Task Cross Reference command to create a cross
reference file for each of the selected AutoMax and UDC application
tasks. The cross reference listing will include the following for each
variable used in the task: the line on which the variable is defined, the
variable type (local, tunable, or reserved for the system), the
hardware address (slot, drop, remote slot, register, and bit), the
description assigned when the variable was configured (either the
!Ćtype comment on the application task line on which the variable is
first referenced, or the 40Ćcharacter element description in PC/Ladder
Logic tasks), and the line cross reference. The task cross reference
then lists the following errors or warnings for the task: minor
compilation errors, undefined variables, unconfigured variables, local
variables read but not written to, unused variables, and local
variables written to but not read. AutoMax will assign cross reference
files a .XRF extension. Cross reference files can then be printed by
using the Print command (see section 8.11).
Step 1.
Select the task(s) for which you want to create a cross
reference.
Step 2.
Select Generate Task Cross Reference from the Task
menu.
