To use the Cursor Point Operation with a keyboard:

1. To activate the Set Bit Cursor Point object, press Home or

Spacebar.

2. Press the four-way arrow keys on the keyboard to move the

cursor to the desired Set Bit Cursor Point.

3. To deactivate the Set Bit Cursor Point object, press the four-way

arrow keys to activate the next Set Bit Cursor Point object or
Numeric Input Cursor Point object, or press Esc on the keyboard.

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.

Cursor Point Default Operation

1. When the application is run for the first time, the PanelView

terminal scans all Set Bit Cursor Point objects in the screen from
left to right, top to bottom. The first Set Bit Cursor Point object,
with its control value set to 1, is the active Cursor Point for that
screen.

2. If none are found, the Cursor Point object (Set Bit or Numeric

Input) nearest the home position of the screen is the active Cursor
Point object for that screen. If this is a Set Bit Cursor Point, its
control is set to 1.

3. All other Set Bit Cursor Point objects in the selected screen have

their control values reset to 0. Any other Numeric Input Cursor
Point objects on the screen remain inactive.

4. In a Remote I/O application, when the screen is selected and the

Screen Number to PLC option is enabled, both the new screen
number and the new Set Bit Cursor Point values are transferred to
the PLC in the same PLC scan.

Note: When the application is first run, the Cursor Point operation is
enabled.
