Display Creator User Manual – MoTeC Ⓒ 2014 Published 1 July 2014
Pages Tab
The pages defined on this tab comprise the displays available for the current project.
The Properties pane at the right side of the Display Creator window will change depending on what is
selected. For information on management and properties of a page, see
Page Management and Properties
. For
information on the properties of individual elements see the
topics.
☛
All pages are initially created by the user, except for the Overlay Page, which always overlays the currently
displayed page. A project can contain any number of pages but only one
Default page
The Default Page is the first page listed in the Navigation (Pages) pane that does not have any display
conditions assigned to it in the Switched Element section of the Properties pane.
Page display (switching) criteria
A device that uses a Display Creator project will display pages according to the following criteria:
• The page displayed is the page whose display conditions are true, however:
○
If more than one page has conditions that evaluate as true, then the page highest on the list displays.
○
If there are no pages whose conditions evaluate as true, then the Default Page displays.
○
If a Default Page does not exist, and there are no pages whose display conditions are true, then only
the Overlay Page displays.
☛
Although a condition expression can use any channel to switch pages automatically, a convenient method to
manually switch pages is to use channels assigned to push buttons.
