Register Value Display Data Properties Options

Color Animation (see Feature List A) – dynamically change the color of the object.

Flash Animation (List B) – dynamically ‘flash’ object.

Visibility Animation (List C) – make the object disappear or become ‘invisible’.

Background Color (List F) – option to select a color as a ‘backdrop’ to the object.

Border (List G) – add a line around the perimeter of the object.

Flash (List D) – continuously ‘flashes’ the object.

Font – select from one of four options- 5x7, 7x14, 10x14, and 20x28 pixels.

Format – select optional decimal point display and total number of digits to show.
o Digits after Decimal Point- used to display the value in the target register with a
decimal point. Maximum of 10 digits.
o Number of Digits- represents the total number of digits before and after the
decimal point (if used). Maximum of 10 digits.

Text Color (List Kb) – Determines the color of the text. Click to display the color
palette.

Design (List S) – identifies object.

Display Data Properties – Address of target and special features.
o Byte Order – determines how HMC interprets the order of data (word order)
when Data Type is ASCII or ASCII Numeric.
o Data Type – options are:

1- If the value in the monitored target register is not a valid BCD number, a dollar sign ‘$’ is
displayed.
2- Floating Point format is based upon the IEEE 754 standard for 32-bit single precision
numbers. A maximum of nine digits is supported. Values are rounded to the nearest decimal
point (ex: if Format: Digits After Decimal Point is set to 1 digit, then floating point number
1.52 would be displayed as 1.5 and 1.56 would be displayed as 1.6).
3- ASCII format interprets the data value in each 16-bit register as two ASCII printable
characters. Hex values 0-9 are displayed as numbers 0-9, 0A-1F is displayed as small case
decimal numbers, 20-FF is printable ASCII characters. The HMC reads consecutive registers
