Creating Data Entry Screens
Chapter Objectives This chapter describes how to create data entry screens
Data entry screens allow an operator to directly enter values into
MicroView registers. Data entry screens can also contain data display
fields.
Data Entry Screens This is how a data entry screen may appear:
To construct data entry screens, you need to specify:
•
The type of screen as data entry
•
Any additional text information that you want to display
•
The type of data stored in the controller register
•
The register to access (address), and if used, a display register
•
Any data format and display information
•
The display position for the entry field
Scaling Data entered in standard engineering units such as gallons, pounds,
feet, etc. can be scaled to machine control values. Data is scaled by
setting up a proportion between the MicroView data entry limits and
the controller register data limits. Refer to the description of scaling in
Chapter 3.
