Select Data Type (Selection Dialog)

For configuration elements that support data types from the PCo data type repository, you can select the data type in a dialog box instead of from a dropdown box. As a rule, the selection dialog usually has four tab pages, corresponding to the four data type categories:

• Elementary data types

• Array data types

• Structured data types

• Enumeration data types

Details for the data types are displayed on the relevant tab pages. You can click on the links to navigate to each element or component data type and use the arrow keys to navigate back to the starting point.

Choose a data type or a component of a structured data type by selecting the row and then leave the dialog box by choosing Select. Alternatively, you can double-click on a data type or a component to select it.
