o Increase Value by 1, Decrease Value by 1 keys – these keys will increment or
decrement the value or number that is currently entered by one.
o Sign Key (+/-) and Sign Key (+/-) and 0 keys – use these keys to change the sign
(positive or negative) of the number entered. The Sign Key with 0 adds a little
twist- if the key is pressed more than once, it will add 0s to the right of the
number entered. Note: for these keys to work, you must use configure the
target Numeric Entry register with Data Type of Signed.
o Clear Data Entry – when pressed, this key clears the entire entry and starts over.
o Cancel Data Entry – this key exits data entry mode without making any changes
to the value of the target register.
o Accept Data Entry – this key writes the entered keypad value to the target
register.
o Switch to Next Data Entry – if you have multiple Numeric/Coil Entry registers on
the screen, this key will move the focus of the keypad between registers.

register.

When the pointer changes to a double-headed arrow, simply click and drag to a new location.
Note that if you resize the keypad to a point at which the buttons are too small, then an error
message displays.
Predefined ASCII (alphanumeric) Keypads
The MAPware-7000 software offers two predefined ASCII keypads that popup when using a
Numeric Entry or Bit Entry object or can display on screen. These keypads offer various styles to
customize for the particular needs of the project.
