====== Manual mode ======

Manual mode is useful at debugging. In manual mode you can test a program or its part where a hardware variable is connected, or where we need a function block to provide a particular value.

In the debugging mode, right click a variable in the ladder and select Manual mode.

After confirmation, the variable is marked in yellow, and its value can be entered manually.
