Rockwell Automation 2706-MB1 MESSAGEVIEW 421 SOFTWARE MANUAL - Manual (Page 138)

7–17 Creating Messages
Publication 2706-817
The Terminal View displays the active (highlighted) message. If the
Terminal View is the active window, when a message is being edited
in the Message Edit box, the changes appear in the Terminal View
display. (An active window has its Title Bar highlighted.)
•
Text appears as entered, in its correct display mode size.
•
Variables are represented by placeholders (see the table on Page
7–18).
•
Graphics appear as they will appear on the terminal display.
•
Scrolling is not supported in the Terminal View, but Flash and
Inverse Video appear as they will on the terminal display.
Note: If the message is longer than the Terminal View can display,
scroll through the message in the Message Edit box to see the
remainder of the message. When the Terminal View is the active
window, its display will follow the insertion point in the Message
Edit box. That is, it will scroll through the message up to the cursor
point.
To return to the Message Editor Table View, select:
•
The Table View tool.
•
The Table View command in the Window menu.
•
At the bottom of the Window menu is a list of open windows.
Two of them have the same name. The name that is checked
represents the active Terminal View, so the Table View is
represented by the name that is not checked (inactive). Select it to
activate the Table View.
Zoom
The Terminal View can be resized in one of two ways:
•
Click on one of the Zoom tools.
The Zoom In [+] and Zoom Out [-] tools may be clicked up to
four times. When the display reaches the maximum or minimum
size, the tool you have used becomes inactive and is greyed out.
•
Or select the Zoom command on the View menu to open a dialog:
Select a Zoom To percentage increase over the basic size. Select
OK, and the Terminal View is resized.
