Variable Simulation - Frequently asked questions
hmtoggle_plus1Why is the current value of a variable not updated after changing the value in the simulation?

The reason is a possible wrong setting of the "Overwrite Owner's Value" checkbox in the value operations view. See here for a detailed description.
hmtoggle_plus1Why can't I see anything in the variable tree?

If the variable tree is completely empty, the variable simulation has probably lost connection to PClient (see status bar messages).

Make sure that PClient runs. The variable simulation will automatically try to reconnect to the PClient.
hmtoggle_plus1The variable tree shows only the owners but no variables

This can be caused by:

•A filter text was set but no matching variable was found

•Show Favorites Only was selected but no variable was marked as favorite

•Hide Pre-Defined Variables was selected but no user defined variables are present in the project

•A combination of the three points above
hmtoggle_plus1Why is the checkbox to start the PClient simulation disabled?

This checkbox is disabled if the connection settings were configured to connect to a running PClient via ethernet in the Simulation Settings.
