You have several options for inserting operations, signals, and expressions into the input field, such as via drag & drop or double-click. This helps you avoid typing errors and work more efficiently.

Input using double-click

Position the cursor where you want to insert the operand or operation. Then double-click the desired item in the function tree or signal tree.

Note
	Inserting signals and expressions via double-click only works in the Expression builder, but not in the signal grid on the Signal Definitions tab.

Intellisense input assistance

The Intellisense feature simplifies the manual entry of expressions in the signal table and the command line of the Expression builder. As you type, suggestions appear for functions, parameters, signals, or virtual expressions from the data file.

You can select suggestions by clicking or using the arrow keys, and confirm with <Enter>. As you continue typing, the list updates continuously with matching auto-complete suggestions until the command is complete.

The Expression builder automatically adds all necessary parentheses.

Navigating complex expressions

To keep track of complex expressions, use the keyboard shortcut <Ctrl> + <B> to jump back and forth between matching pairs of parentheses.

Closing the Expression builder and applying the expression

When you close the Expression builder by clicking <OK>, the created expression appears in the corresponding row of the table.

The expression is automatically used as the signal name, but you can manually replace it with plain text. For complex, cascaded expressions, it is recommended to use short and meaningful names to maintain clarity.
