Click an I/O variable in the system tree to display this view in the Auto View. You also can right-click an I/O variable and select Probe to display this view in a separate window.
This view displays the location of an I/O variable and allows you to view or customize the following components:
Location—Specifies the location of the item you want to probe. To probe a variable, for example, enter the information in the following format: //SystemName/Process/Variable.
Current Value—Displays the current value of the selected variable.
New Value—Allows you to enter a new value to assign to the variable.
Force—Forces the variable to assume New Value until you unforce the variable, reboot the target, or force the variable to assume another New Value.
Unforce—Stops forcing the variable and returns control of the I/O value to the scan engine.
Set—Sets the value in the New Value field as the current value.
Show Trend—Displays the trend view graph of the selected variable.
Data Type—Displays the data type of the selected variable.
Timestamp—Displays the timestamp of the selected variable.
Quality—Displays the quality of the selected variable. The quality indicates errors or other conditions that apply to the variable.
Access Type—Displays the supported access mode(s) of the variable. This includes Read-only, Write-only, or Read/Write. LabVIEW modules and toolkits you have installed might provide additional access types.
