Popup Screens
Popup screens are screens that display groups of objects (i.e. Bit Lamps, Buttons, Bar graphs,
etc.) on the HMC. They display on top of base screens and are smaller than the size of the
HMC7000 LCD display. Note: although you can configure several popup screens to display on a
base screen, only one popup screen displays at a time.
How to create a popup screen
1. Use one of the following:
a. Click Screen…New Popup Screen from the standard menu
b. Click the New Popup Screen icon in the Layout Toolbar.
c. Right-click the Screens folder located in the Project Information Window. A
popup dialog box appears- click New Popup Screen.

box displays:

on the button to display the color palette and select a color.

may wish to assign a new name that helps define the purpose of the screen, (i.e.
numeric keypad).
b. Number – this is the number assigned to the screen. A number is automatically
assigned to each screen when created. By default, the number assigned is the
next available number in sequence (starting with 65005), but you can edit this
