Creating Data Entry Screens

Chapter Objectives

This chapter describes how to create data entry screens

Data entry screens allow an operator to directly enter values into
MicroView registers. Data entry screens can also contain data display
fields.

Data Entry Screens

This is how a data entry screen may appear:

To construct data entry screens, you need to specify:

The type of screen as data entry

Any additional text information that you want to display

The type of data stored in the controller register

The register to access (address), and if used, a display register

Any data format and display information

The display position for the entry field

Scaling

Data entered in standard engineering units such as gallons, pounds,
feet, etc. can be scaled to machine control values. Data is scaled by
setting up a proportion between the MicroView data entry limits and
the controller register data limits. Refer to the description of scaling in
Chapter 3.
