57 Numerics
Publication 2711E-820 – January 1998
You can adjust the size of the Numeric Data Display and format its
foreground color, background color, font style, border style, and
blink and underline attributes. For details on formatting objects see
“Changing Object Appearance,” in Chapter 9, Creating Objects, in
the PanelBuilder 1400e Configuration Software for Windows User
Manual.
Note: If you use the Extra Large Font, the application will be
compatible only with PanelView Version 2 or later. The application
will not be compatible with earlier versions.
The Numeric Keypad Enable Button object calls up the Numeric
Keypad scratchpad. The operator enters a numeric value in the
scratchpad to be sent to the PLC. If you assign the Optional Keypad
Write Expression, the PanelView terminal can perform a
mathematical calculation or logical operation on the value the
operator enters, and then send the result to the PLC.
While the Numeric Keypad scratchpad is on the screen, the Cancel
key, numeric keypad, backspace, decimal point, minus sign and
Home/Arrow keys remain active. All other keys and buttons are
disabled.
The Numeric Keypad scratchpad is removed when:
•
the Cancel key is pressed
•
the screen changes
•
the operator moves the cursor to a Set Bit Cursor Point
•
mode is switched
The Numeric Keypad scratchpad can display up to 16 digits. The
decimal point and minus sign use one digit each.
Note: The Numeric Keypad scratchpad appears over the top
60 pixels of the screen. Keep this in mind before you place objects in
this area.
Important: In Remote I/O applications, the PanelView terminal can
retain the current values for the object’s controls, even
after the terminal is turned off. Depending on how the
Application Startup operation is defined, the retained
value (last state) or initial value (default) is sent to the
PLC when power is re-applied.
For details on configuring Application Startup
operation, see “Application Startup” in Chapter 4 in the
PanelView 1200e and 1400e Operator Terminals User
Manual.
