Starts a VDA Tool used for viewing and exporting variables.

None.

Associated_With — A string containing the name of a VDA Tool. The WzVariable window will only show variables from this specified VDA Tool. Note that the string you specify is case-sensitive.

NoBlock — If specified, the event loop (WwLoop) that is started by the VDA Tool will use the given value. By default a value of 1 (non-blocking loop) will be used. However, it may be necessary in certain circumstances to force a non-blocking loop by specifying NoBlock = 2. (See WwLoop in the PV‑WAVE Application Developer’s Guide for more information.)

Parent — The widget ID of the parent widget.

Position — Specifies, in pixels, the x and y (horizontal and vertical) coordinates for the starting location of the upper-left corner of the VDA Tool window.

Restore — A data structure previously saved in the Tools Manager with the TmSaveTools function. This keyword is reserved for internal use; it is not to be used at the command line (see Discussion).

Type — An integer, or array of integers, that specify the data types to display. These integers and their corresponding data types are (PV‑WAVE designation listed in parentheses):

The Parent keyword is used to connect WzVariable to another application, such as the Navigator.

The Restore keyword is used specifically by the TM_RESTORE method. For information on the TM_RESTORE method, refer to the source code for WzVariable in:
