Display
The display tool is used for showing an image bank and a table with ten variable values in
a separate Run window when the program is running. The Run window is only displayed
when the program is running, and not when stepping through or debugging the program.
Each time the tool is executed, a new row is added to the table in the Run window, show-
ing the current values of the variables. The table can display up to 150 values. For each
numerical variable, the mean value and deviation is calculated and displayed at the bottom
of the Run window.
If the variable refers to a value stored in the table, the description in the table for that row
is used as header of that variable’s column. When displaying a value from a previous
program step, the name of that result is used as the header. For any other type of variable
(numerical value, string or expression) the column has the parameter name (
Variable 1 –
10
) as header.
It is possible to export the values of the variables to file. If the “Export variable values”
checkbox is checked when closing the Run window, a save dialog is displayed allowing the
user to specify a file name and location. Up to 10.000 of the rows displayed in the Run
window are saved to the file. If more than 10.000 rows have been displayed, it is only the
10.000 latest rows that will be saved to file.
N.B.
variables that are longer than 100 char-
acters will be truncated.
If the communication between PC and the device should be interrupted, for instance by
pulling the Ethernet cable from the PC, the execution in the device goes on but the up-
dates by the Display tool will be stopped until the connection is re-established.

an image returned by the 'Binarize' tool.
03 = Variable 1
04 = Variable 2
…
12 = Variable 10
