CannyLab user interface consists of a single window - the main program window.

Main window

The main window is divided into several areas:

  • window title;
  • main menu;
  • toolbar;
  • function block panel;
  • workspace;
  • status bar.

Depending on the current operating mode of the editor, some of CannyLab menu items and panels may not be available or hidden.

Toolbars

Toolbars allow access to the most used commands in CannyLab.

4 4 2 1.png

Desktop Control Panel allows scaling the area of the workspace and changing its dimensions in pixels. To quickly zoom in/out, rotate the mouse wheel while holding down the «Ctrl» button on your keyboard.

Workspace

The workspace is designed to display, edit, and debug function diagrams. The background of the workspace is a grid that facilitates positioning of function diagram elements. To move around the diagram displayed in the workspace, use the vertical and horizontal scroll bars, mouse wheel or arrow keys.

Status bar

The status bar displays: the controller for which the current function diagram is designed, the status of communication with the controller, the presence of system software and function diagram in the connected controller. In the simulator mode the status bar displays information about controller resources used by the user diagram.

Function block panel

Function block panel contains all block types available for constructing the function diagram. Function blocks in this panel are grouped by their purpose and, depending on display setting, may be presented as either icons or a list. Scroll the function block panel by using the vertical scroll bar or your mouse wheel.

The two ways of displaying the function block panel:
