The Circuit Menu

1.    Insert Comments

Comments are specific remarks used by a programmer to explain various characteristics of a program segment and are ignored by the compiler. TRiLOGI allows comments to be freely inserted between circuits. Execute this command and  the Comment Editor will be opened. The comment editor allows you to enter any text you like that best describe the working of the circuit. All standard text editing keys, including cut and paste are applicable to the Comment Editor.

NEW! In previous versions of i-Trilogi, you would press <ESC> key or click the button to close the comment window and automatically save the changes when you had finished editing it. i-Trilogi 6.2 allows you to save and close the comment the same way as before or by clicking the new button. It is now also possible to exit the comment and discard any changes made since it was last opened by clicking on the new button.

Once a comment has been created, it is assigned a circuit number and is treated like any other circuits. You can edit it by pressing the <spacebar> when you are in Browse mode, alternatively, you can move it around, copy it to another destination or delete it entirely using commands in the "Circuit" menu.

Note: Since i-TRiLOGI  is Unicode-aware, you can enter comments text in any international language and as long as the file is saved with a ".PC6" the comments will be properly saved into the data file and will be properly reloaded when the file is next open.

2.     Insert Circuits

This command enables you to insert a new circuit just before the currently selected circuit. The current circuit number will be increased by one while the new circuit will assume the current circuit number. You will be placed in the circuit editing mode for immediate circuit creation.

3.     Move Circuit

You can rearrange the order of the circuits by using this command. Select the circuit you wish to move and execute  the "Move Circuit" command, then select a destination circuit location and press <Enter>. The selected circuit will be moved to the new location before the destination circuit.

Note that if you wish to move a block of circuits to a new location, you may find it more productive to use the "Cut Circuit" and "Paste Circuit" commands in the "Edit" menu.

4.     Append Circuit

Execute this to add a new circuit to the ladder logic program. This new addition will be positioned immediately after the last circuit in the entire program.

5.    Delete Circuit

This command allows you to delete the one or more circuits. You will be prompted to enter the range of circuits that you wish to delete. Please note that you can't UNDO a delete circuit operation.
