Chapter: Compiling and Sending → Possibilities to Send a Project
Change to Programming View (if not already done) and open the global variables table. The variables that you created yourself have automatically been added to the Auto group.

Check the states of your input variables and click the button to the left of the variable names to open the debug dialog box for individual variables. Check the functionality of your outputs by controlling them.
