Property Values
If the property can only take a number of pre-defined values, define those values in the
Property Values list. The following operations are available.
Add a new property value
Click the Add button.
This opens a Set Property Value dialog for you to define the new property value.
Edit an existing property value
Select a property value from the list and click the Edit button (or double click on the
property value).
This opens an Set Property Value dialog for you to edit the property value.
Delete a property value
Select a property value from the list and click the Delete button.
This deletes the property value from the list.
Set Default
Select a property value from the list and click the Set Default button.
This marks the selected property value as the default. The default value is set when a new
print field is added to a label. An asterisk (*) indicates the current default value in the list.
Load the property values from a file
Loads the property values from a scales EPROM file or a text file. Only available for
properties with the Image ID or Text Table ID property type.
This function is useful for ensuring that the label displayed in the Label Edit window
matches the label printed on the scales.
Clicking the Load from File button opens a File Open dialog for you to specify the EPROM
file or text file. Select the file then click OK. This loads the values from the file, overwriting
the previous property values.
Click OK to save your changes or click Cancel to close the dialog without saving.
Set Property Value Dialog
The form of this dialog depends on the property type.
All versions of the dialog contain the following fields.
Name
Assigns a name to the property value for use in the Label Editor.
For properties with the "Text Table ID" or "Units" type, the name specifies the actual text to
be displayed for the property.
Value
Specifies the value of the property (the value sent to the scales). The allowed range is 0 to
255 (i.e. an 8-bit value).
Other versions of the dialog assign specific meanings to a property value so that the Label
Editor knows how to interpret the property when displaying a field in the Label Edit window.
Click OK to save your changes or click Cancel to close the dialog without saving.
