You can write literal values to On Entry or On Exit outputs for any step in the step program. These can be entered in the Edit Outputs dialog box.
Note: The Edit Outputs dialog box only lists Aliases that have output values assigned to them for the step the dialog is opened from.
To assign a literal value to a step as output value in the Edit Outputs dialog box

Select the Step Program tab. The Step Program panel appears.
-
Right-click the step you want to assign output values to and select Edit Outputs. The Edit Outputs dialog box appears.

-
If the Alias you want to use does not appear in the list, select on either add (+) button depending if you want to assign an OnEntry or an OnExit value. Then select the Alias from the pulldown list that appears in the list.

-
Select the Alias you want to assign a value to as output and then select the value cell. A pulldown menu appears.

When you are done, select OK to close the Edit Outputs dialog box. All values are updated in the output matrix.
