121 Scrolling Lists
Publication 2711E-820 – January 1998
Each Multistate Indicator object in the Multistate Indicator Object
List allows the operator to view the state of a PLC operation on the
screen. The Number of Visible States you define for the Multistate
Indicator Object List must be the same as for the Cursor List.
Because the objects function as a list, they are configured as a group.
You can define from 2 to 255 states for the objects. For each state,
you can define unique labels, colors and attributes, using text and
bitmap images. The PanelView terminal then monitors the Visible
State control and displays the state labels and colors appropriate to
the control value.
Configuring Labels for Multistate Indicator Object Lists
As part of configuring the Multistate Indicator Object List, you may
want to add text or graphic images to different states.
Note: To add a graphic image, you can use monochrome or color
bitmaps, but not PanelBuilder drawing objects.
By default the text is configured as Small Font. You can change the
font size. Different states can have different font sizes. However, you
cannot use the Extra Large font for Scrolling List objects.
The lines of text, the font size, and the maximum size of the graphic
image depend on whether or not the Double Height States option is
selected in the Configure Multistate Indicator Object List dialog box.
•
If the Double Height States option is not selected, you can enter
only a single line of Small or Double Wide text. You can add
graphic images that are 20 pixels or less in height.
•
If the Double Height States option is selected you can enter a
single line of Large or Double High text, or two lines of Small or
Double Wide text. You can add graphic images that are 40 pixels
or less in height.
