The variable viewer displays the current value of all user controllable internal variables. The viewer not only displays the variables, but the panel allows the user to directly change the value of all variables. All program variables are displayed with a deep blue background, while all user script created variables are shown with a light blue background. Additionally, the last changed variable value is displayed in red.
Variable Viewer controls
The preferences panel provides initial settings for some variables upon program startup.
DataFile variables are changable through actions that load, read, or write datafiles through script, or through controls on the datafile viewer panel.
One special variable (RepeatTimer) changes every second as it displays count down time to automatic script repeat when instructed to do so through script command and script execution state.
Finally, variables that are tied to messages are changed whenever a message is selected from the message log. The variables changed by selection of a message from the message log depends upon the type of message selected from the log. For example, selecting an SNMP message updates variables associated with SNMP messages, just as selecting an HTTP message updates variables associated with HTTP messages.
