Changing Variable Values via the Visualization

In addition to displaying values from the controller, a user interface also serves as a device for inputting and changing values.

In general you can configure the user inputs for each element in its properties of the type Input Configuration. In addition, there are elements specially developed for certain inputs.

Some examples:

• An element Button (or Rectangle, etc.) which, upon a mouse click, opens a predefined dialog visualization for the convenient input of values.
• Element Slider for changing a variable value by moving visualization element parts, for example with the mouse: Slider: the element changes the value of a variable depending on the position of the controller inside the slider bar. You define the value range of the slider bar with the scale beginning and scale end.
• An element Switch for setting a boolean value
• An element SpinControl: The element increases or decreases the value of a variable in defined steps.
• An element Button for writing a recipe, for the execution of a certain ST code, for writing a certain variable, etc. (definition in the input configuration).
