How to set up Data Layer watchlists and integrate them into ctrlX PLC

Introduction

This how-to video covers the use and benefits of Data Layer watchlists for ctrlX CORE. Watchlists make it easier to monitor and troubleshoot communication between apps and between ctrlX CORE and other devices. Interesting items in the Data Layer can be added to a watchlist for convenient grouping and later access. Watchlists also include shortcuts to enable quick access to different areas of the Data Layer. Watchlists can also be imported into the ctrlX PLC project to easily integrate variables from the Data Layer with the ctrlX PLC application.
