Table 150. Visualization Directories

Text list files

Directory that contains text lists which are available in the project to configure texts for different languages

CODESYS uses the directory, for example to import or export text lists.

After you click the _cds_icon_three_dots.png button, the Select Directory dialog opens for you to select a directory in the file system.

Image files

Directory that contains image files which are available in the project

Multiple folders are separated with a semicolon. CODESYS uses the directory, for example to import or export image files.

After you click the _cds_icon_three_dots.png button, the Select Directory dialog opens for you to select a directory in the file system.



Table 151. Advanced

Activate property handling in all element properties

_cds_icon_checked.png: You can also configure a visualization element with a _visu_icon_object_property.png property in those properties where you select an IEC variable. Then CODESYS creates additional code for the property handling when a visualization is compiled.

Requirement: Your IEC code contains at least one Interface property object type (a _visu_icon_object_property.png.property).

visu_img_devices_property.pngRequirement: The Visible option is selected.

Activate implicit checks for visualization POUs

_cds_icon_checked.png: The implicit check is also performed for visualization POUs. As a result, additional code is generated, which increases memory usage. When memory is limited, this option should be disabled.



Tab: Symbol Libraries

Table 152. Visualization Symbol Libraries

Symbol libraries

List of all installed symbol libraries (example: VisuSymbols)

Active

_cds_icon_checked.png: The symbol library is selected in the project and CODESYS makes it available in the Visualization Toolbox view of a visualization.

_cds_icon_option_deactivated.png: The symbol library is installed in the library repository, but CODESYS does not make it available in the Visualization Toolbox view of a visualization.
