"ADD WATCH"
You can add more expressions for monitoring
→
"ADD" and, of course, delete again
→
"DELETE".
You can monitor a maximum of 10 expressions
simultaneously.
NB!
The monitoring window is updated constantly.
Thus, depending on the speed of the program
execution and communication the number of the
monitored expressions should be limited to a
reasonable amount.
NB!
The array watching is limited to the first 250
elements.
Change Watch window
If you want to change the size of the monitoring
window (watched expressions), move the cursor to
the lower edge of the dialog field and – as soon as
the cursor has changed its shape – click and pull
the window in the desired direction.
Close Watch window
Click on "DEVELOPMENT"
→
"CLOSE WATCH" or
on the close symbol in the dialog window. If you
open it again later, the previously selected expres-
sions are monitored online and displayed.

"SYNTAX CHECK" and the program will be aborted
as soon as an faulty command is found. The line
number and an error description are outputted to the
communications window. The cursor is automatical-
ly placed at the exact position of the syntax error
and the program stops at this point..
The "SYNTAX CHECK" produces a debug file in
addition to checking the syntax. This file will be
called “temp.ad$”.

with teach-in programming.

mands, click on "DEVELOPMENT"
