Create parameter

Any parameter can be created within a library. Any kind of structures can be created by way of units in order to organize parameters. A new parameter can be created via the popup menu of a unit or another object.

Parameters are typed, i.e., there are different types of parameters that differ from each other in terms of the values assigned to them. For example, there are parameters for integers, strings or truth values (Boolean). To distinguish between two variants, one truth value will be enough, that is, a parameter of the Boolean type, which can assume the two values true or false.

To create a new parameter:

Create parameter step 1

  1. Call up the popup menu of a library or a unit and select New > Engineering > Parameter here.

Create parameter step 2

  1. Enter a name for the new parameter.
  2. Enter a type or select a type via [..].
  3. Enter a comment optionally.
  4. Save with [Ctrl] + [S] or .

The component is created as a result of the assignment of a name and subsequently the saving of the editor. Without a valid name the name field is highlighted in red. A name must be unique within a unit.

If a given value does not conform to the type of the parameter, the result field is highlighted in red and a corresponding message is entered in the message log.
