6.1.6Output Window

In the output window, system messages are displayed standard in the sequence in which they occur. The categories identify each WinCC flexible submodule that generated a system message. System messages of the category "Generator" are generated, for example, during the consistency check.

To arrange the system messages, click on the header of the corresponding column. The output window displays all system messages of the last action. If there is a new action, all previous system messages are overwritten.

To provide continued access to existing system messages, they are stored in a separate log file.

Errors -for example, during generation- are displayed in color and can be selected by using the context menu. You can jump to an error location or to a variable, copy system messages, or clear them.

6.1.7Object Window

In the object window, the contents of the folders in the project window are displayed.

The object window can be displayed permanently by docking it onto or shifting it into the project window.

6.1.8Resetting the Arrangement
