A slider marked '''POT0''' tells you nothing when you come back to a program six months
later. The editor reads short tags out of your comments and uses them to label the
simulator's controls as you type.

== The tags ==

{| class="wikitable"
! Tag !! Labels
|-
| <code>; #POT0 Delay time</code> || POT0, POT1, POT2
|-
| <code>; #LED1 Tempo</code> || The two [[Using the simulator indicator lamps|indicator lamps]]
|}

Tags are read from the comment part of a line, so they never collide with code. Hovering a
renamed pot still shows which one it is underneath.

== A related tag ==

<code>; #slot 5</code> works the same way on the hardware side. With
'''Filename / Toggle Position''' set to '''AUTO''', the editor reads the tag and writes to
that slot, so a program carries its own destination. With no tag it writes
<code>3.hex</code>, the slot a board with no toggles fitted reads. See
[[Using the Sandbox FV-1 Editor]].
