Field Meaning
Decimal Display
(continued)
Fixed Position—Select this item if you want the decimal point
to appear always in the same position. See Digits after Decimal
Point, next.
If the Displayed Value control is a fractional number and has
fewer than the specified number of digits to the right of the
decimal point, the value is padded with zeroes. If the value has
more than the number of digits, the value is rounded off.
Digits after Decimal
Point If you specify the decimal point as Fixed Position, enter the
number of digits that will appear after the decimal point. The
maximum is 15.
Control The Numeric Data Display uses the following controls. You can
assign a tag or expression to each control.
Displayed Value contains the value to be displayed. If the
control uses a tag with a float address or a non-standard scale
and offset value, the object can display a fractional value.
Important: If you assign the Polarity control, when you define
the Displayed Value control use a digital or analog tag with any
of the following unsigned data types: byte, binary, bit position,
or 1 to 8 BCD. If you use a signed data type, do not assign the
Polarity control unless you want to override the value’s own
polarity.
Decimal Point Position determines the position of the decimal
point. Define this control if you specified the Decimal Display
field as PLC Controlled. The value of this control determines the
number of digits after the decimal point.
Polarity determines whether or not a minus sign is displayed. If
the Polarity control’s value is other than 0, the minus sign is
always displayed; if it is 0, the sign is never displayed. If this
control is assigned, it overrides the Displayed Value control’s
polarity. Remember to account for the minus sign in the number
of digits you assign.
You can adjust the size of the Numeric Data Display and format its
foreground color, background color, font style, border style, and
blink and underline 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.

application will not be compatible with earlier versions.
Note: If you use the Tiny Font or the Very Tiny Font, the
application will be compatible only with PanelView Version 5 or
