Instruction / Terminal Block Editor Display Scripts
Display Scripts
Overview The Instruction and Terminal Block views may be customized using specialize d VB
Script files (.ucs). A large variety of .ucs files are provided for common instructions
and for some advanced I/O cards. All .ucs files use a standard set of functions that
link into the PRWX32 Data editor to provide the on screen elements needed. As
well, all regular VB Script functions (such as FOR loops and IF statements) are
available.
