Buttons

Toolbar This appendix will give you a short overview of the different buttons in the
toolbar.
The toolbar, the third bar from the top, offers a variety of buttons (if activated via
'Options' 'Toolbar'). Regularly used functions can be started with a single
mouse click. They are, of course, also available as menu items. Just like the
menus they are context sensitive. That means the buttons can vary depending
on the open and active windows. Some can be seen at virtually all times and
they will be described first. Later, we will explain those buttons that can e.g. only
be found in the FBD editor.
For detailed descriptions of the functions please refer to the manual for program
development. This short overview will not describe if the function can e.g. be
found in the menu 'Extras' or 'Insert'. In most cases that is obvious in the
context. To save space we do not state "... at the marked position" for each
function. It is self-understood that the position in which e.g. something is to be
inserted requires marking. Neither will we state that it might not make sense to
insert an element in just any place depending on the function. It does not make
sense e.g. to insert an operator following an assignment. Some elements have
a default value, e.g. TRUE for Boolean variable. This default value can be
overwritten with the requested entry. The F2 key can be useful again.

File functions

'File new'
Opens a file named Untitled.
If no file is open (e.g. following the instruction File Close) almost all (context
sensitive) menus are empty or the menu items are shown in grey, i.e. they are
inactive. To do something, a file has to be open.
'Open file...'
Opens the window for selecting a file.
'Save file'
Saves the open file.
It is recommended to click on this button repeatedly during your work.
