Configuring the Increment Value Button
Configure the Increment Value Button according to this 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.
Button Type Specify Increment Value Button.
Function Key
(Keypad only) Specify which function key the operator must press to activate
this button.
Auto-Repeat Rate
(per second) Specify a number between 0 and 20. When the operator holds
down the Increment Value Button, the terminal begins
increasing the value at the Button Control by the “Amount per
Increment” value at the rate you specify in this field.
A value of 0 disables auto-repeat. When the button is pushed
and held, the value at the Button Control increases once by the
amount specified in the Amount per Increment field. The button
must be released and pushed again for the next increment.
Auto-Repeat Start
Delay Specify the time, between 200 milliseconds and 2.5 seconds,
that the operator must hold down the Increment Value Button
before the auto-repeat function starts.
Amount per Increment Enter an integer or floating-point value between 0.0000000001
and 2,147,483,647. Floating-point values are accurate to 10
significant digits The value at the control increases by this
amount each time the operator presses the button or at each
auto-repeat.
Maximum Value Define a maximum value above which the Increment Value
Button value will stop increasing. If the value is already at or
above the maximum you define here, and the Increment Value
Button is pressed, the value will not change. Instead, an error
message appears. Enter a value between –2,147,483,648 and
2,147,483,647. Floating-point values are accurate to 10
significant digits.
Show Numeric Display Check this field if you want the button’s value to be displayed. If
you choose this, it will be an Increment Value Button with
Display object.
Number of Digits If you choose to show the numeric display with the button, you
can specify the number of digits that will appear. Choose from 1
to 16. Keep in mind that a minus sign uses one digit.
Fill Left With If you choose to show the numeric display with the button, you
can specify how the left portion of the display appears when
fewer than the maximum number of digits are displayed. You
can choose either spaces or zeroes.
Control Button Control . The control’s value increases by the specified
amount each time the operator presses the Increment Value
Button or when the button auto-repeats. You can assign only a
tag to this control.
