Assigning Size of Window

You can vary the size of a new window to create full screen or popup windows. Popup windows are most often used

to display data that does not need to be on the HMI display all of the time. For example, you might want to configure

an instructional message in a popup window that can be moved aside or closed when not needed. The message can

be triggered to pop up when needed or appear with a keypress.

Assigning a Position

This is the starting position that the window goes to when it is initially called onto the HMI screen as a popup window.

The starting position is labeled Start Pos: in the Window Setting Dialog box. The X and Y positions refer to the pixel

location of the HMI display at which the upper left-hand corner of the window is to be displayed.

The default setting is X=0 and Y=0 which is the upper left-hand corner of the HMI display. The X-axis refers to the

horizontal location and the Y-axis refers to the vertical location.

• The HMI5043N/HMI5043T have a 480 x 272 pixel display, so the ranges are X = 0-479 and Y = 0-271.

• The HMI5056N has a 320 x 234 pixel display, so the ranges are X = 0-319 and Y = 0-233.

• The HMI5070NH/HMI5070TH/HMI5100N/HMI5100T have an 800 x 480 pixel display, so the ranges are X = 0-799

and Y = 0-479.

• The HMI5104TH/HMI5104XH/HMI5121X have a 800 x 600 pixel display, so the ranges are X = 0-799 and Y = 0-599.

• The HMI5150X has a 1024 x 768 pixel display, so the ranges are X = 0-1023 and Y = 0-767.

Monopoly Feature

The monopoly feature is used to ‘monopolize’ all touchscreen action that can occur on the HMI screen. For instance,

suppose the HMI display is currently showing a full screen window with several objects. If a popup window is

displayed that does not have the monopoly feature enabled, the HMI operator is able to press and activate any

objects on the popup window or the full screen window since objects on both screens are active.

If another popup window is displayed that does have the monopoly feature enabled, then the objects on the full

screen window will not respond when pressed.

Please note that the monopoly feature only disables touchscreen objects on the full screen window. Objects on other

popup windows can still be activated.

The monopoly feature can be used to display a popup window with some action that the HMI operator must perform

before being allowed to do some other action on the HMI. For example, you might construct a dialog box that asks

the HMI operator if some step in the control process has been performed. The dialog box would have Yes and No

function key options which, with the monopoly feature enabled, the HMI operator must press before continuing.
