Parts of the on-screen keyboard
You can set up graphic displays so that the operator can use an on-screen keyboard for
input entry in recipe, string, or numeric input objects.
The keyboard that opens for string input and recipe objects (shown in the following
illustration) accepts alphanumeric characters. The keypad that opens for numeric input
objects accepts numeric characters only.
Characters typed in the on-screen keyboard are transferred to the selected input object
when the operator presses Update Field or Download in the on-screen keyboard, or
presses Enter on a hardware keyboard.
