The Objects
Chapter 10
10-17
When the application is downloaded and the screen is displayed, the
second cursor point in the first row will be selected as the active Set
Bit Cursor Point object and its associated PLC bit will be set to 1,
since it is closest to the home position. All other bits in the screen
will be reset to 0, including the address associated with the second
Set Bit Cursor Point object in the second row. When another cursor
point is selected with the Home and arrow keys, this bit will be reset
to 0 and the bit for the selected cursor point set to 1.
IMPORTANT: Sharing Set Bit Cursor Point addresses with other objects
is not recommended in actual applications; it is only used here to explain
Cursor Point operation.
IMPORTANT: The Set Bit Cursor Point is a retentive object. Your
PanelView terminal will retain the current value for the Set Bit Cursor
Point setting even after you’ve turned the terminal off, or switched to
Configuration mode and back to Run mode. The Set Bit Cursor Point is not
presettable.
To define the Set Bit Cursor Point Character choose Set Bit Cursor Point
from Control Selectors in the Object Add Menu. By default the Set Bit
Cursor object uses a small arrow as the cursor character. This cursor
character can be changed. If the cursor character you want to use appears
on the computer keyboard, then:
1. Choose Cursor Character.
2. Type that character and press Enter.
To use a character from the extended character set:
1. Choose Cursor Character.
2. Press and hold down a Ctrl key combination or Alt followed by the
character’s ASCII code on the keyboard’s keypad, then press Enter.
See Appendix E, The Extended Character Set for more information.
ATTENTION: Do not use the Set Bit Cursor Point to initiate a
control function.
