.
To add an array
  1. In
    FactoryTalk Live Data Test Client
     select
    Data
     >
    Add Item
    .
  2. In
    Add Item

    Default
    .
  4. Select an
    Active
     setting:
    • Checked
       - the data item value is updated once per group update rate
    • Unchecked
       - the data item value is not updated
      This setting cannot be changed after creating the array. To change the
      Active
       setting for an array, edit each data item in the array individually, or remove the array from the group and add it again.

    [%d]
     placeholders are added to the
    ItemID
     box. Loading data items in more than 3 dimensions is not supported.
    For an array, you can use the "L##" modifier to retrieve and display multiple elements from the array in the test client. Refer to Modifiers in
