Parameter

The initial values of the variables listed on the Symbol Initialization tab can be enabled for the variant management. You can choose between three options:

  • None: No initial value is saved variant-specifically.
  • All: All initial values are saved variant-specifically.
  • Selected – see ‘PV’ column: An extra column PV is added to the table in which the initial values can be enabled individually for the variant management via a checkbox for each initial value row.

Note: If you switch from None to Selected, all parameters are initially disabled for the variant management. You can now enable the desired parameters. If you switch from All to Selected on the other hand, all parameters are already enabled. You can only disable the undesired parameters for the variant management.
