Tutorial: Building a Simple Project Creating tags This part of the tutorial shows how to create new tags by adding them to the Project Tags datasheet. A tag is any variable that holds a value. All tags created in a project are stored in the Project Tags folder, on the Global tab of the Project Explorer. Project Tags folder 1. In the Project Explorer, click the Global tab. 2. Double-click Project Tags to expand the folder. 3. Double-click Datasheet View to open the Project Tags datasheet. 4. Use the following parameters to create a tag for the sample project. a) Name : Specify a unique tag name. For this tutorial, type Level . b) Array : Specify the top array index of the tag.
(Simple tags have an Array of 0 .) For this tutorial, type 3 . Each array index relates to one of the three tanks: • Level[1] is the level of Tank #1 • Level[2] is the level of Tank #2 • Level[3] is the level of Tank #3 You will not use Level[0] in this tutorial, even though it is a valid tag. c) Type : Specify the data type of the tag: Boolean, Integer, Real, String, or Class. For this tutorial, select Integer . d) Description (optional): Type a description of the tag for documentation purposes only. Page 63
