5. The Enter connection is reset to 0 and the operator can send a new value to the Value
connection.
To set up Enter key handshaking to hold the value until the data
source has read it
1. In the Timing tab of the object’s Properties dialog box, specify these properties:
 Enter key control delay (optional)
 Enter key handshake time
 Handshake reset type
2. In the Connections tab, assign these connections:
 Enter—assign a tag. A digital tag is recommended (either an HMI tag or a data
server tag).
 Enter handshake—assign a tag or expression.
3. Set up the data source to send a non-zero value to the Enter handshake connection
when it has read the new value at the Value connection, and then to reset the Enter
handshake connection to 0.
You can also use the Property Panel to specify the properties and assign tags to the
connections.
Time, date, and number formats for graphic objects
Graphic objects use the time, date, and number format of the current application language.
For example, if the application language uses a comma for the decimal symbol, floating-
point values shown in graphic objects uses a comma for the decimal symbol.
For information about using multiple languages, see Chapter 12.
