Options

 Description
Range Display The advanced numeric display can support up to 10 fixed ranges or 3 variable ranges. You can define the text color, BG color, and lower bound for each range. At runtime, the advanced numeric display displays the value using color settings for the range to which the value belongs.
Range Check The advanced numeric display will verify the entered value according to the specified maximum and minimum. If the entered value is not within the allowable range, the value will not be output. Select and set this option in the Range page.
Note: If the output expression or the output macro is defined, the converted value stored in the variable $W is verified instead of the entered value.
Touch Operation Control You can enable and disable the touch operation of the advanced numeric display by the specified bit or the current user level. Select and set this option in the Advanced page.
Timeout The keypad displayed for the advanced numeric display will be closed and the data entry operation cancelled after the keypad receives no input for the specified time period.
Notification The advanced numeric display will notify the specified bit when it finishes outputting the entered value. Select and set this option in the Advanced page.
Operator Confirmation The Confirmation box will be displayed when a value is entered for the advanced numeric display. If the operator selects “Yes” in the Confirmation box, the advanced numeric display will write the entered value to the specified variable. If the operator selects “No” or the operator does not respond within the specified time period (Maximum Waiting Time), the advanced numeric display will cancel the data entry operation.
Select and set this option in the Advanced page.
Change User Level The current user level can be changed after the operation is performed. Select and set up this option in the Advanced page.
Operation Logging The time, the entered value, and the predefined operation message will be recorded when the advanced numeric display outputs the entered value. Select and set this option in the Advanced page.
Designated Keypad The Object will have its own keypad other than the system keypad or the customized keypad for the whole panel. Select and set up this option in the Advanced page.
Visibility Control You can show and hide the advanced numeric display by the specified bit or the current user level. Select and set this option in the Visibility page.
