Show variables

[TRS17985]

Hi all,

Is there a way to show the value of a variable while in driver mode? I know the procedure of showing a variable in the HUD , using the SHOW VARIABLE rule, but I would like a way to check on the actual value of a variable whilst playing driver mode. For instance through a key combination.

Thanks for any feedback

Yes, there is. There is a driver command that looks at a session variable and can hold the driver's schedule until the variable reaches a certain value.

To use it in the context you mention, the name of the variable needs to be set up in the input table before you can access its value.

When in Driver mode, display the driver messages to reveal the value of the variable.
Then issue the command to cause the variable to be interrogated and its value displayed.

Unfortunately, the version of the command currently on the DLS does not have the ability to display the value of the session variable.

I've sent you a DM to get your e-mail address so I can send you the corrected version.

Best Regards - Trevor

Thanks Trevor,

I’ll give it a try. Maybe it leads to something better, like a screen, activated by a key combination, that gives a peak at the actual variable values. Dreaming can’t Hurt.
