WzVariable Procedure
Starts a VDA Tool used for viewing and exporting variables.
Usage
WzVariable
Input Parameters
None.
Keywords
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):
0 — Undefined
1 — Byte (BYTE)
2 — Integer (INT)
3 — Longword integer (LONG)
4 — Floating point (FLOAT)
5 — Double precision floating (DOUBLE)
6 — Complex single-precision floating (COMPLEX)
7 — String (STRING)
8 — Structure
9 — (not used)
10 — List (LIST)
11 — Associative array (ASARR)
12 — Complex double-precision floating (DCOMPLEX)
13 — 32-bit integer (INT32)
Discussion
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:
<wavedir>/lib/vdatools/wzvariable.pro
<wavedir>\lib\vdatools\wzvariable.pro
Where <wavedir> is the main PV‑WAVE directory.
