TestIT:Programming Functions

The function window encompasses all the codes, which can be inserted in the program. To get information about the function, then, press on the wanted line and use the info button. When a function is going to be created, the wanted function can be selected, or if the code is known then it is possible to write it. To get help with filling in the function, the Config button can be selected and it will show the parameters. In symbol handler, it is possible to add a symbol, and it is also possible to insert a symbol in the function. To insert a symbol, just double-click on the wanted symbol.
