Configuring the Numeric Keypad Enable Button
Configure the Numeric Keypad Enable Button according to the
following table:
Field Meaning
Name Assign a name, up to 15 characters, to document the object for
printed reports. This increases the application’s size by 1 byte
per character.
Scratchpad Specify whether you want the Numeric Keypad scratchpad to
be retained or removed after the operator presses the Enter
key:
Retain after Enter retains the scratchpad on the screen.
Remove after Enter removes the scratchpad from the screen.
Decimal Point Specify whether the operator can enter a number with decimal
points, and how the decimal points appear in the scratchpad.
Disabled—the operator can’t enter a decimal point.
Implicit—allows the operator to enter the number and decimal
point. Assign an analog tag with Floating Point data type.
Fixed Position—you specify where the decimal point is
positioned in the scratchpad display. See Digits after Decimal
Point, next.
PLC Controlled—allows the PLC to determine the number of
digits that appear after the decimal point by specifying a value
in the tag for the Decimal Point Position control.
The PLC Controlled decimal position can display 1 to 15
decimal digits. If the value returned by the Decimal Point
Position control is outside this range, the decimal point
character is replaced by a single asterisk (*).
Decimal Key Controlled—allows the operator to enter the
number and decimal point. The terminal calculates the decimal
point position and writes this value to the Decimal Point Position
control.
See “Using the Decimal Point” later in this chapter for more
information.
Digits after Decimal
Point If you specify the decimal point as Fixed Position, enter the
number of digits that will appear after the decimal point. The
maximum is 15.
Function Key Specify which function key the operator must press to call up
the scratchpad.
