124 Scrolling Lists
Publication 2711E-6.15 – November 1998
The Scrolling List permits PLC output data to be multiplexed to the
PanelView terminal. This reduces the PLC ladder logic typically
needed to display and edit large amounts of data.
Important: Depending on how the Scrolling Lists in the application
are configured, the terminal can retain the last (that is,
most current) list state for all the Cursor List and Object
List settings even after the terminal is turned off. See
Configuring Retained Last List States, later in this
chapter, for more information.
How you define the Cursor List determines how you can define the
Object Lists. Therefore, create and configure the Cursor List before
you create any of the Object Lists.
You use three dialog boxes to configure the Cursor List:
•
Configure Cursor List—In this dialog box you assign the
number of states, configure the button-repeat times, configure
whether to retain the last list state, and assign controls. You can
also access the Configure Cursor List Buttons and Configure
Cursor List States dialog boxes from this dialog box.
•
Configure Cursor List Buttons—In this dialog box you enable
or disable the different navigation buttons available for the Cursor
List object. Access this dialog box from the Configure Cursor
List dialog box by choosing Edit Buttons.
•
Configure Cursor List States—In this dialog box you assign
state values to the states in the list, and specify whether any of the
states will be skipped. Access this dialog box from the Configure
Cursor List dialog box by choosing Edit States.
Configuring the Cursor List
Configure the Cursor List according to the following table:
Field Meaning
Name Assign a name, up to 15 characters, to document the object for
printed reports. This increases the application’s size by 1 byte per
character.
Number of States Specify the total number of states or items in the Scrolling List
object. The valid range is from 2 to 999. This value cannot be less
than the Number of Visible States defined for the object.
You can accept the default state values, or assign different values to
each state, as described in this chapter.
