Can You See Arrays In The Network Shared Variables Watch List?

Updated Mar 6, 2026

Issue Details

I would like to know the actual value of a shared network varibale that has array type. Is there a way to see it on my shared network variables Watch List?

Solution

At this time the values for variables that have high-level data type like clusters or arrays can't be showed due to software limitations. If you need to see the values, the workaround would be to create different "doubles" for each one, and add them to the environment.
