26 Control Selectors
Publication 2711E-6.15 – November 1998
You can adjust the size of each component of the Control List
Selector without Enter Key, and format the object’s foreground color,
background color, font style, button margins (touch screen
applications only), border style, fill style, and blink attributes. For
details on formatting objects see “Changing Object Appearance” in
Chapter 9, Creating Objects, in the PanelBuilder 1400e
Configuration Software for Windows User Manual.
A group of Set Bit Cursor Point objects allows the operator to select
from a list or an array of objects.
The Set Bit Cursor Point object consists of a cursor character, a
display field, and a unique control.
To use the Set Bit Cursor Points at runtime, the operator must press
the Select or Home button on the PanelView terminal, thereby
enabling the arrow keys. The arrow keys move the cursor to the
desired Set Bit Cursor Point on the terminal display. The Home key
moves the cursor to the default position (the top left cursor point on
the screen). The Select key activates the previously selected Cursor
Point object.
Note: When Set Bit Cursor Point objects or Numeric Input Cursor
Point objects occupy the same screen with a small or large ASCII
Input object, the Spacebar on the keyboard or the Select key on the
keypad terminal will place a space in the ASCII Input scratchpad. It
will not select a Cursor Point. The Home key must be used to select
the Cursor Points.
When the operator selects a Set Bit Cursor Point, the PanelView
terminal sets the selected Set Bit Cursor Point’s control to 1 and
displays the Set Bit Cursor Point character highlighted and blinking.
To turn off the Set Bit Cursor Point feature and disable the keys, the
operator must press the Cancel button on the PanelView terminal.
Only the selected Set Bit Cursor Point will have a control value set
to 1. All other Set Bit Cursor Points will have a Control value of 0.
Important: The Cursor Point operation status (either activated or
not activated) and the current cursor point position for
each application screen are maintained even after the
terminal is turned off and back on. This is true for DH+,
ControlNet, Modbus, and Remote I/O applications.
!
ATTENTION: A control function should require
operator confirmation. Do not use this object on its
own to initiate a control function. Also, a retained
value could be used when the terminal is powered back
on, which could result in a control function starting
without the operator’s knowledge.
