OSP Variables Manager

The OSP Variables Manager is a user friendly interface for working with common variables. It allows the user to focus on important variables, add comments to each variable, and revert to previous values. Variable values can be set directly, or by math operations. The import function automatically goes through the program to find the common variables used in it and adds them to the list.

Description

There is no longer a need to switch to the OSP Parameter - Common Variable page to work with variables. This application can automatically scan the part program selected for execution, find all the common variables used, and add them to its list. Set variable values or perform 'Quick Add' operations with 20 levels of 'Undo.'

  • If the variable definition is followed by a comment (in the part program), the comment is automatically displayed in the variable comment field
  • The variable list, with current and previous values and comments, can be saved to file for review or reloading
  • Pin/unpin functionality to keep the application always visible
  • Help button that shows a brief explanation of the icons and the basic functionality of the application

Very good app, however, has anybody faced the situation in where the app doesn't scan the variables of the program in execution, is there anything I am missing?

This app made it very easy for me assign names to variables to simplify input for operators. A great app!

JB,
thank you for downloading, testing the OSP Variable Manager and leaving a review. This kind of feedback is exactly what we need for improving our Apps.
We will add the functionality you are requesting, so the toolbar can be hidden/showed. Stay tuned for the next release!

PROS: I absolutely love the potential of his App! I just tested it out on one of my MB-46V machines and showed a few of my operators. Huge pro that I can present only the ten or twelve variables my operators actually use rather than pages and pages to scroll through. Having each variable labeled is also a huge pro, as is storing the previous value.

CONS: The one thing stopping me from using this App right now is that I cannot lock or hide the toolbar. While one of my operators was testing it, he accidentally hit the "new" button and wiped out everything. I realize I can just reload the .var from MD1 but not all of my operators would get that (for some, the sky would be falling!)

I look forward to seeing the next version of this. We have over 50 machines running P200 controls and I think we will likely be using this on all of them eventually.
