Selecting Floating Point Entry and Display

You can enable floating point display while designing your application Data
Display Screens. Once enabled, the Screen Builder screen will appear as
shown in “Display Width” example below.

Display Width

When using fixed point display (

Decimal Opt=1

), you can set the display

width to any value from 2 to 8. The DTAM Programming Software will
warn you if you enter a value outside that range.

When using floating point display (

Decimal Opt=0

), the DTAM module will

default to a display width of 10, and the Display Width and Decimal Position
fields on the DTAM Programming Software Data Entry/Display screen will
become inactive.

The display on the DTAM Programming Software Data Entry screen will
appear as in the example below.
