This option provides you with the ability to document (add programmer comments to) the internal measurement routine. It will not display any text when executing the measurement routine. Visually, this command does not have the usual COMMENT prefix to the command in the Edit window. This is done to help the comment stand out inside the Edit window.
Command line in the Edit window:
$$ NO,
comment text
To type a document comment directly into the Edit window:
Type COMMENT and press Tab. PC-DMIS highlights the OPER field.
Type $$ and press Tab or Enter.
After you insert a PC-DMIS comment, to type additional PC-DMIS commands in Command Mode, you must first press Enter twice after the COMMENT command. This tells PC-DMIS that you no longer want to add text to the comment but are ready to add a new command.
You can also access this option by selecting Insert | Report Command | Comment from the menu bar to show the Comment dialog box. Then select Document.
When you open a measurement routine that was saved from a later version into the current version, any commands that are not supported in the current version show up as DOC comments. See "Save As" in the "Using Basic File Options" chapter.
For more information on comments, see the "Inserting Programmer Comments" topic in the "Inserting Report Commands" chapter.
