Breakpoint positions in SFC Editor: (not yet implemented)
The possible breakpoint positions basically are those positions in a POU at which
values of variables can change or at which the program flow branches out resp.
another POU is called.
Note: Notice for breakpoints in methods: A breakpoint will be set automatically in
all methods which might be called. So, if an interface-managed method is called,
breakpoints will be set in all methods of function blocks implementing that
interface and also in all derivative function blocks subscribing the method. If a
method is called via a pointer on a function block, breakpoints will be set in the
method of the function block and in all derivative function blocks which are
subscribing the method.
13.14 ST Editor
The ST-Editor, provided by the 'ST Editor' plug-in, is used to create programming
objects in the IEC programming language Structured Text (ST) resp. Extended
Structured Text which provides some extensions to the IEC 61131-3 standard.
The ST-Editor is a text editor and thus the corresponding text editor settings in the
Options and Customize dialogs can be used to configure behaviour, appearance and
menus. There you can define the default settings for highlight coloring, line numbers,
tabs, indenting and many more.
not yet implemented: The usual Windows functions are available and even those of
the IntelliMouse can be used if the corresponding driver has been installed.
Notice that block selection is possible by pressing <Alt> while selecting the desired
text area with the mouse.
The editor will be available in the lower part of a window which also includes the
Declaration Editor in the upper part.
Notice that in case of syntactic errors during editing the corresponding messages will
be displayed in the "Precompile" Messages window. An update of this window is done
each time you re-set the focus to the editor window (for example put cursor in another
window and then back to the editor window).
