Buttons and Keypad Terminals
When you create a button for a Keypad terminal, you are creating a
“soft-key” label for the button and then linking that label with a specific
key on the Keypad terminal. For example, if you want the operator to press
the F21 key to go to the next screen, you would place a “Go to Screen”
button on the right edge of the screen next to the F21 Key. Then you would
assign F21 to that button.
To assign a function key number to the label for single button objects
(Screen Selector Buttons, Push Buttons, Increment, Decrement, and Set
Value Buttons):
1. Choose Move and Size from the Object Menu.
2. Choose Function Key.
3. Enter the number for the desired function key (between 1 and 21, or 0
to leave the key unassigned).
To assign a function key number for multi-button objects (the Screen List
Selector, Control List Selector, and Control List Selector with Enter):
1. Choose Buttons from the Object Menu.
2. Choose a specific button.
3. Choose Function Key.
