Tabular view of all forced variables of the application, including variables prepared for forcing | |
Expression | Variable name |
Type | Data type of the variable |
Value | Currently forced value of the variable |
Prepared value | Value prepared for forcing |
Overwritten value at start of cycle | For inputs, the actual value is already overwritten by the force value before the application code is executed. Therefore, this is the forced value. For outputs, this is the forced value. |
Overwritten value at end of cycle | For outputs, this is the value which is calculated in the cycle. However, this value is overwritten by the force value at the end of the cycle. For inputs, this is the forced value. |
Unforce and keep all selected values: For all selected entries in the list, the variables will be set to the forced value and the forcing will be lifted.
Unforce and restore all selected values: For all selected entries in the list, the variables will be reset to the values they had before they were forced, and the forcing will be lifted.
