Program Editor Tips

• The Program Editor provides two basic types of views: the device views and the commands view.

• The device views provide access to the Program Wizard pages for each device. To add or edit a command for a device, click the device icon on the left pane. The corresponding Program Wizard page opens. For example, clicking the pump icon opens the wizard's pump pages.

• The commands view lists all of the commands in the program in chronological order. From here, you can access a Commands dialog box that assists you in editing the program commands. Place the cursor on the command that you want to change, or on a blank line where you want to add a command, and press the F8 key (or right-click and select Command from the context menu). The Commands dialog box opens with the selected command displayed.

• If you know the command syntax, you can edit program commands directly from the commands view; type a new command, change a command's parameters, delete commands, etc. The commands view functions like a basic text editor. Any illegal commands or values are indicated by red text.
