Change propagation

Changes in a data type are reflected immediately in the User defined type view.

Add new member

Adding a new member is reflected in the derived data type, member data type, and instance.

Example:

1. Select $GenericSensorType.

2. Add a new member called "Tolerance" of type Memory Real.

   This new member is now available in its derived data type $LevelIndicatorType.

   

   This new member is also available in the instance member data type.

   

Change member type

Changing the existing member type is also reflected immediately in the derived data type, member data type, and instance.

Example:

Extended from the previous example:

3. Go to $GenericSensorType > Tolerance.

4. In the properties grid, change the data type from Memory Real to Memory Message.

   $LevelIndicatorType > Tolerance is also updated to be data type Memory Message.
