Add or delete variables 

Before  you  start  to  add  variables  on  the  workspace,  you  should  add 

them to the FB. To do that, see 

‎

3.7.2. 

To add variable, just drag and drop it to the workspace. 

In case of local variable you will get a menu where you need to choose 
its type (input, output or input/output variable) like shown in the figure 

below. 

 

Figure 46 Type of a local variable 

After adding, variables will appear on the workspace.
