Section 10. Custom Keyboard Display
Menus
CRBasic has the capability of creating a custom keyboard display menu for a
the CR1000KD Keyboard Display. The custom menu can either appear as
submenu of the standard menu or it can take the place of the standard menu
and contain the standard menu as a submenu. An item in the custom menu
may do one of four things:
1) display the value of a variable or a field in a data table.
2) display the value of a variable/flag and allow the user to change it.
3) provide a link to another custom menu.
4) provide a link to the standard menu.
Figure 10-1 shows windows from a simple CR1000KD custom menu named
“DataView”. “DataView” appears as the main menu on the CR1000KD.
DataView has menu item, “Counter”, and submenus “PanelTemps”,
“TCTemps”, and “System Menu”. “Counter” allows selection of 1 of 4 values.
Each submenu displays two values from the CR9000X's memory. PanelTemps
shows the CR9000X module temperature at each scan, and the one minute
average of the module temperature. TCTemps displays two thermocouple
temperatures.
PanelTemps:

Final Stg |23.5000
TCTemps:

|29.4355
TC_Temp_2 |32.3133
