A quick and easy way of connecting blocks in large circuit programs

In addition to the conventional method of creating connections with the programming toolbar icons, you have another alternative:

  1. After you have placed the blocks into the circuit program, double-click on the input or output of a block.

  2. A mask opens with a list of the target blocks. Double-click to select a block.
    Tip: In the mask header you will find an input field. You could, for example, enter the initial letter of the required SFB to restrict the display in the mask to a list of blocks with this initial. You thus do not have to browse the entire mask, and you can quickly find the relevant block.
    In addition, you can also use wildcards such as * or ?.

  3. The connection is made.

Advantage: Particularly when you are handling large circuit programs, this method provides you with a quick and easy means of creating connections.
