Creating numeric and string input fields
Use the Numeric Input tool to create fields that operators can use to
enter data for analog and digital tags. Use the String Input tool to
create fields that operators can use to enter data for string tags. When
the display runs, operators can use these fields to write values to the
value table. The values can then be accessed by the programmable
controller, external OPC or DDE device, or RSView32 memory.
A display can contain up to 500 input fields.
Numeric and string input fields can also be used to upload values and
display them in a graphic display.
Operators can select any one of the input fields in the display and read
or write the values associated with that field, or they can read or write
all the values at once. You also have the option of setting input fields
so that tag values update continuously when the operator is not using
the field to input data.
An operator can also retrieve a series of values from a recipe file,
change them, write the changed values back to the programmable
