1. Delete Filters

Use this button to delete all selected filters.

2. Variable, Function, and Group Filters

To filter the list of variables by variable type, the toolbar provides the following functions:

Selection Status

Filters in the Selection Status group filter the list of variables with respect to the selection status.

	All variables neither added to an experiment nor selected in the current variable list are displayed.
	All variables added to an experiment are displayed.
	All variables selected in the current variable list are displayed.

Class

Filters in the Class group filter the list of variables with respect to the class to which the variables belong.

	Use this filter to view only the configuration variables. These variables can be changed.
	Use this filter to view only the measured-value variables. These variables can be measured, but cannot be changed.
	Use this filter to view only the variables of the adaptive parameters class.
	Use this filter to view only the slewing variables.

Type

Filters in the Type group filter the list of variables with respect to the variable types.

	Use this filter to view variables of type scalar.
	Use this filter to view the variables of the type Boolean.
	Use this filter to view variables of type vector.
	Use this filter to view variables of type matrix.
	Use this filter to view variables of type curve.
	Use this filter to view variables of type map.
	Use this filter to view the variables of the type Axis.
	Use this filter to view variables of type ASCII.
	Use this filter to view the variables of the type Curve Axis.
	Use this filter to view the variables of type Multidimensional.
	Use this filter to view the variables of type Blob (binary large object).

Virtualness

Filters in the Virtualness group filter the list of variables with respect to real variables and virtual variables.

	Use this filter to view only non-virtual variables, i.e. these variables exist in the control unit and are not simulated by the system.
	Use this filter to view only the virtual variables. Virtual variables are simulated by the system.

Dependence

Filters in the Dependence group filter the list of variables with respect to variables that are dependent on other variables.

	Use this filter to view the variables whose value is not calculated from other variables.
	Use this filter to view the variables whose value is calculated from other variables.

Writability

Filters in the Writability group filter the list of variables with respect to the writability of variables.

	Use this filter to view the variables whose value cannot be changed.
	Use this filter to view the variables whose value can only be changed in Offline mode.
	Use this filter to view the variables whose value can be changed arbitrarily.

Readability

Filters in the Readability group filter the list of variables with respect to the readability of variables.

	Use this filter to view the variables whose value cannot be read.
	Use this filter to view the variables whose value can be read.

Annotation Severity

Filters in the Annotation Severity group filter the list of variables with respect to variables containing notes.

	Use this filter to view the variables that include an application hint.
	Use this filter to view the variables that include an indication of a possible problem.
	Use this filter to view the variables that include an indication of possible malfunctioning.

Role

Filters in the Role group filter the list of variables with respect to variables that have a certain task.

	Use this filter to view the variables that were imported from another function.
	Use this filter to view the variables that were defined in and exported from the function you have selected.
	Use this filter to view the variables that are input values of the function you have selected.
	Use this filter to view the variables that are output values of the function you have selected.
	Use this filter to view the variables that are local variables of the function you have selected.

3. Filter Configuration

To manage the filter configurations, the toolbar provides the following functions:

Use this button to store defined filters in an XML file as filter configuration to be able to load it again in a different environment.

Use this button to load a filter configuration stored in an XML file.

Use this button to remove a filter configuration from the variable selection dialog.

Note
This button appears only after a filter configuration has been loaded.

Use this button to enable or disable a loaded filter configuration. If the filter configuration is enabled, the background color of the button changes to yellow.

Note
This button appears only after a filter configuration has been loaded.

4. Excel Export

Use this button to export the displayed variables together with the corresponding raster to an Excel file.

5. Information Window

Use the information window to show more detailed information on a variable you have just selected.

The meta-information can be shown at the right side or bottom section of the variable pane. If this information is no longer required, it can be hidden again through the information window.

6. Settings for Variable Selection

Use this button to open the window in which you can set the defaults for variable selection.

7. Help for Variable Selection Dialog Box

Use this button to activate the help for the Variable Selection Dialog.
