Creating a sample screen

Click the

< Place Data>

button.

A new data fi eld labeled Data 1 will
appear in the upper left corner of the
screen.

You can left-click the box, hold the mouse
button down, and drag it to a new location.

Now click on the

< Place Text>

button to place a text

fi eld on the screen.

Move the text fi eld above the data
box the same way you moved the
data fi eld. Your screen should now
look like the one shown at left.

Let’s say you want a Space
Temperature data fi eld and want
the text box to identify it. The next
step is to change the text in the
Text Box and also its appearance to
identify the data fi le.

Click the box labeled Text 2 and then click the

< Edit

Text>

button.

The Style Selection Window will appear. This window allows you
to change the appearance and the actual text in the Text Box. Make
the selections shown in the example.
