If desired the system installer has the option of configuring custom screens
that will show up on the CRT. These screens may be activated through an
input to PAL (such as a switch or push button) or by the use of softkeys
also defined by the system installer. These screens may have their own
softkey tree configuration or parameters to assign. Refer to the system
installers documentation for details on the operation of any PAL display
pages that may be defined on your system.
PAL display pages may be accessed in either automatic, manual, or MDI
modes. If the control is in MDI mode when a PAL display is active the
MDI prompt will be available in the normal position on the screen. This
will however prevent the operator from typing in any input for that screen
using the keyboard. Any data typed in on the keyboard will be used for an
MDI operation.
When changing the value of some parameter on the PAL display page, part
program execution is not typically interrupted. If some data that is used in
a currently executing part program is changed the control will handle that
data in the following manner:
