Navigator options

Select the objects and information to be displayed in the navigator. The following 3 categories of settings are available:

• Display extended information

  Option	Description
  Function return type	The data type (INT, BOOL, WORD etc) returned by the function appears next to the function.
  POU type	Program (PRG), function (FUN), or function block (FB)
  POU language	Type of POU editor used
  Compiled steps	Number of program steps; updated after project has been compiled
  Variable information	Variable type, initial value, and variable address for global variables
  Number of entries	Number of entries for a navigator object
  Date and time	Date and time when a project or object was last created or saved
  System register numbers	Displays the system register numbers

• Display objects in the project view

  Choose whether or not to display the calltree in the project view.

• Display objects in the calltree

  Option	Description
  Global variables	If you have opened the calltree, and you activate this option, the system displays the global variables in addition to the POUs called. Note: If your project contains a large number of global variables, you should deactivate this option in order to obtain a clearer overview and a faster display speed.
  Manufacturer FUNs and FBs	Displays the system libraries. Panasonic offers a series of PLC software libraries. Reuse of ready-made functions and function blocks saves programming and debugging time.
  FB instances	Displays all FB instances in the calltree. By using this setting, you can reduce the number of programming steps. Each function block has its own memory area. You can reuse function blocks as often as you like. Every time you load a FB, a copy is created. To ensure that a FB is not overwritten or processed by a FB of the same type, each copy has an instance name.

• Sorting

  Use this function to define the order in which objects are displayed in the navigator.
