Results
Note:
- You must create a unique name for each program/control system created under the same folder. You can create programs/control systems with the same names as long as they are stored in different folders.
- When defining logic with scientific notation where the number of digits to the left of the decimal point is large, the system extends the range of values displayed without scientific notation to include all values with an absolute value less than 10 million and greater than or equal to one millionth (0.000001 <= |value| < 10,000,000.0).
