Assign an output value to a step

You can assign output values to each step in your step program. These values are written to the attributes that are mapped to the Aliases.

Note: You can create up to 250 outputs per step and up to 10,000 outputs across all steps.

Use:

• On Entry outputs to write outputs as soon as the step becomes active.

• On Exit outputs to write outputs as soon as the step or jump condition is fulfilled.

Output values can either be literals (numerical values, True/False, date time values, elapsed time values and strings) or Aliases.

Note: Hexadecimal values are not supported.

To assign output values to Aliases in steps, you can either use:

• Output matrix

• Edit Outputs dialog box - is especially useful if you have many outputs as it simplifies how they are shown.

  Note: Unlike the output matrix, you cannot use the Edit Outputs dialog box to add or rename Aliases.
