102 Screen Selectors
Publication 2711E-820 – January 1998
When the operator presses the Goto Screen button, the screen
associated with the button is displayed. When the operator presses
the Return to Previous Screen button, the previously displayed
screen re-appears.
Tip: Include a Goto Screen button labeled “View Current Status” in
a screen and configure the button to go to a screen displaying the
current status. That screen would include a Return to Previous
Screen button, so the operator could easily return. For a touch screen
application, configure a Goto Screen button labeled “Select New
Screen” to go to a screen displaying a Screen Select Keypad. For a
keypad application, use a Screen Keypad Enable button. The
operator could then select the desired screen by entering the screen
number.
Note: The PanelView terminal remembers only the last screen. You
can’t back up through a succession of screens with Return To
Previous Screen buttons.
Important: In PanelBuilder, if you delete or renumber a screen that
is assigned to Goto Screen buttons, you must assign a
new screen to each of the affected buttons. Otherwise
the application will not run properly.
