Add-On Instruction Definition Editor Dialog - Help Tab Overview

This tab displays auto-generated Help text for the Instruction and lets you add extended description text. This content reflects updates as Parameters or other attributes are changed in the definition.

Attributes

Extended Description Text

Instruction Help Preview

See a preview of the instruction help that is available if you press the [F1] key or click the Help button from the instruction browser (read-only).

Logic

Click to open the Logic routine. This Logic button is not visible if the Add-On Instruction is source-protected.

Data Type Size

Displays the size of the Add-On Instruction data type – this does include the size of any Local Tags (even though Local Tags are not visible when an instance tag of this data type is expanded in the Tag Editor or Data Monitor), but it does not include logic size. The size is automatically updated when you apply the instruction, not as you create the Parameters and Local Tags.

Copy all default values of parameters and local tags whose values were modified to all tags of this instruction type

Copies all the default values of the parameters/local tags, or members' default values, that you have changed, to all instance tags of this instruction type.
