The object order in the software is the order in which the selection cursor moves the input focus from one object to the next within a screen. Usually the order proceeds from left to right and from top to bottom in a screen. In the model with programmable keys such as 037-LSK, the Data Entry Object receives input focus in the specified order by clicking direction keys. In a touch panel, you can use the function button to select a data entry object with the order number previous or next to the current selection.

The object order is also the display order. If the screen contains overlapping objects, changing the order will change the display sequence of the objects. The objects that come later in the order are always displayed on top of any overlapping objects that precede them in the order.

■ Viewing order

The following is an example of the object ordering.

If the screen is running on 037-LSK, click the down or right direction key to move the selection in 2-4-6-8-10-12-14-16-18 -20-29 sequence. If the screen is running on the touch panel, click the function button to move the selection in the same sequence. The text objects with 1,3,5…order number are not data entry object, so they won’t receive the selection and are not listed in the sequence.
