13–3 Configuration: AUX Terminal Data Entry
Publication 2755-833
Data entered at the keyboard is sent to the host with
the AUX Port Source Identifier (if defined) and
formatted according to the Aux Data Format
parameter. The data is either formatted like the host
message or is unformatted.
No-Read Enables the keyboard for data entry when a no-read
occurs for a package. Selecting No-Read allows you
to manually enter a single string at the keyboard.
If a no-read occurs, the Default Prompt Message
displays (if defined) prompting you to act. You can
also use the Display Text Message host command at
any time to manually prompt for data.
Data is sent to the host with the AUX Port Source
Identifier (if defined) and formatted according to the
Aux Data Format parameter.
Note: For safety considerations, data entered at the keyboard cannot
be used to control the discrete I/O.
Confirm Entry
Field Type Options
Select
No
Yes
Specifies whether you are required to confirm a keyboard entry by
typing the data a second time. The default is No, confirmation is not
required.
Select Yes to require that data entered at the keyboard be entered a
second time. Data must be entered twice consecutively in exactly the
same way before it is sent to the host.
Entering the data twice helps ensure data integrity. Errors are more
likely to occur with data that is manually entered than scanned, but it
is unlikely that one will make identical typing errors in succession.
Simply press [ENTER] twice in succession to send no message (with
the end message character).
