Creating Data Display Screens

The display register data field may be inserted anywhere on the screen.
The number of positions required for the data field depends upon the register
information you provide. You can insert the display data while you are
entering the screen text or you can leave spaces and insert the data field later.
To create a data display:
1. Select Screen Builder from the Edit File - Option Selection menu.
The Screen Builder for the main menu (screen #1) is displayed.
2. Press [F8], enter the display screen #, and select Data Display
Screen type.
The Screen Builder for a data display screen appears.
3. Enter the screen text to the point where you want the data display field to
be inserted. You can either leave spaces for the display field or enter the
display field at this time. Position the cursor where you want to insert the
data display.
4. Press [F1] to insert a display register.
You are prompted to select a register type. The selection depends upon
the protocol (AB-DH485, AB BASIC, PLC-5 DF1, RIO) that was
selected. Refer to page 3–3 for a list of the applicable file types for each
protocol.
