- Language -

This editor allows langauge files to be written and saved for the purposes of controlling many aspects of Data Manager.

There are three types of language each using identical syntax.

Application Language
This is a language script which is run when DataManager is in run mode. When DataManager is switched from configuration mode to run mode, the 'Start Application' language script is executed. If the language script is a piece of endless code, then the language will run continuously until the application is stopped.

A similar 'End Application' language script is executed when the application ends. This script may be used to perform any shutdown actions required.

Drawing Language
This is a language script which is assigned to a drawing. When a drawing is loaded in run mode, the 'Start Drawing' language script is executed. If the language script is a piece of endless code, then the language will run continuously until the picture is changed.

A similar 'End Drawing' language script is executed just before the drawing disappears.

Object Language
This is a language script which is assigned to a particular drawing object. When the object is clicked by the operator, the script is executed to perform the desired task. This enables the system designer to create his own links between drawings and interface to the plant.

see Language functions for run time capabilities.
