Import of the Symbol Table

 Top  Previous  Next

 

For the import of the symbol table no precautions are necessary in TrySim because STEP ®7 can create the data format used by TrySim. If you have already created symbols in TrySim these will be overwritten by the import. If you want to avoid this you will have to export the TrySim table to STEP ®7 first, by this both lists are connected with each other.

•Start STEP ®7
•Open the symbol table
•Select Table|Export
•Select the file type ‘ASCII Format (*.ASC)’
•Select ‘Path name\Symlist.asc’ as file name.
The complete path is named (if you have accepted the defaults at installation)
C:\Program files \TrySim\Projects\Your Project.
•To the question whether you want to overwrite the file you answer with ‘Yes’.
•The symbol table is available in TrySim now.

 

If you export the symbol table out of STEP ®7, while TrySim is already running, you will have to execute in TrySim Project|Import|Symbol Table with the symbol table in the TrySim project directory, because the symbol table is only read at the start of the program.
