clicknick

Context-aware nickname autocomplete for ClickPLC instruction windows.

Features

• Live Nicknames: Immediate access to Nicknames in your CLICK Programming Software, via ODBC connection.
• Smart Autocomplete: Shows only relevant nicknames based on instruction type
• Multiple Filter Modes: Prefix, Contains, and Contains + Abbreviation matching
• Exclude: SC/SD addresses or your own
