TheDave2 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Where is the information for the UniCan Send block ? Searching the HELP files reveal nothing. Is VisiLogix ever going to get context sensitive help ? I.E., when the block is selected, pressing ALT-F1 should bring up help about that instruction.

Cara Bereck Levy Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Hi Dave, I'm Cara, your friendly neighborhood technical writer I give context-sensitive Help where I can. VisiLogic was one of the very first Windows-based PLC-HMI programming packages. Unfortunately, that means that it has some limitations. Some of our dialog boxes, for example, COM Init, are designed so that I can add a Help button; and if you are actively editing COM Init, pressing F1 will open the Help file to that topic. However, the UniCAN Send function uses what our developers call a 'generic form'. I cannot add context-sensitive Help to these. In cases where there many requests, sometimes the developers will re-engineer a function to allow it. That said--if you look for information and don't find it, please do contact me, either via the forum or support@unitronics.com. Sometimes, the information exists but I haven't anticipated how a user might look for it. In such cases, it takes me a few minutes to add Search terms, or create hyperlinks. If the information doesn't exist...I have work to do. Simon, who originally answered your query, has given me a lot of work over the years.
