To use the numeric pop-up scratchpad, a keyboard must be attached to the run-time
computer, or the terminal must be a keypad terminal.
For information about setting up the Numeric Input Enable button and numeric input
cursor point, see Help.
You can also use a Ramp button to ramp numeric values. For details, see Help for the
button.
Activate the cursor point
When the numeric input cursor point has focus, the operator can activate the cursor point
by pressing any of these keys on the keyboard or keypad:
 Numbers from 0 to 9
 The minus sign ( - ) or decimal point ( . )
 The Enter key, or an enter button
 The Backspace key, or a backspace button
When the operator activates the numeric input cursor point, the numeric pop-up keypad or
scratchpad opens.
Ramp numeric values
If you set up the Numeric Input Enable button or numeric input cursor point to ramp
values, the operator presses the object to give it focus. When the object has focus, the
operator can press a move up or move down button, or the Up Arrow or Down Arrow key
on a keyboard or keypad, to ramp the value at the Value connection.
Use the numeric pop-up keypad
The keypad can accept up to 17 digits, including the decimal point, leading zero, and
minus sign.
