Variables Viewer

The Variables viewer is used to see the current values assigned to Variables within a connected Ctrl Engine.

This is a useful troubleshooting tool for monitoring the current value stored within variables within Ctrl Suite.

The Variables view can be accessed within Ctrl Designer by either:

  • Clicking on the Variable icon located at the bottom right-hand corner of the Ctrl Designer interface when when connected to an active Ctrl Engine incidence.
  • Navigating to Tools>Variables
  • Using the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+V.

This allows you to see all variable activity running within the connected Ctrl Engine incidence, ideal for troubleshooting. All data is displayed in real-time.
