The "Variables" window allows you to view and modify the values of the device’s [[Special Function Registers of RadiaCode|Special Function Registers]](SFR). When first opened, the "Variables" window contains a single tab labeled "Main." You can add additional tabs (using the "Add New Page" command from the local menu) and rename any existing tab. Each tab operates independently and is equivalent to a separate "Variables" window. Moreover, multiple "Variables" windows can be opened. When adding a new register ("variable") to this window, RadiaCode places it in the active tab of the active "Variables" window. You can use the "Ins" key or the shortcut "Ctrl+A" to add a variable to the "Variables" window. The selected object is highlighted in color. To select another object, click it or use the cursor keys. ---- **Display Modes** The window includes both vertical and horizontal grids, which can be toggled on or off individually. When the vertical grid is enabled, the data in the window is arranged in columns, and each column has a header in the form of a button. Clicking the buttons "Name," "Type," and "Address" opens the "Display Options" dialog for the selected variable in the window. Clicking the "Value" button opens the "Edit Value" dialog for the selected variable. When the vertical grid is disabled, double-clicking on a row with an object opens the "Edit Value" dialog for that variable. To toggle the vertical or horizontal grid, use the corresponding checkbox on the "Fonts" tab (menu "Configuration," command "Screen Options"). ---- **Local Menu** The local window menu contains the following commands, and each command has a corresponding toolbar button: ![[EN/Windows APP/ImagesPC/localmenuwatches.png|400]] | Command | Description | | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Add Variable/Expression | Adds one or more objects to the window.
