The water tank Our application will be built of text blocks organized in a tree structure We will divide the example into smaller parts to make it easier to follow the application When numbering the text blocks we recommend that you choose a prin ciple that makes it easy to follow the structure of the application From the example in the picture below you find that all text blocks subordinated to a certain text block have inherited the first figure of the superior block 18 How to use the terminal For example the text blocks emerging from text block one have got the numbers 10 and 11 where the first figure 1 comes from block 1 and the fol lowing zero respectively one is an ordinal number The disadvantige of this procedure is the fact that you can have maximum four levels inclu ding block zero In our example the application would be built up in the following way Block 0 Water tank PH regulation Fluid level Block 1 Block 2 PH regulation Fluid level PH level Regulation Block 10 Block 1 PH level Regulated flow 1 Controlling of water tank built up in a tree structure Text block number zero and number one work as menus in Run time mo de From here you can jump to text blocks below From block number zero you can jump to block one and two From block number one you can jump to block ten and eleven Block two ten and eleven contain objects showing s
