Set up Ramp buttons
Use the Ramp button to increase or decrease the value of a tag.
Ramp buttons can change a tag by either an integer or floating-point value. You can use
two Ramp buttons together to create an increment/decrement control.
Each time the operator presses the button, the tag value increases or decreases, depending
on how you set up the button.
To set up a Ramp button
1. Double-click the Ramp button.
2. In the button’s Properties dialog box, fill in the options on each tab:
 In the General tab, specify what the button looks like, whether the button uses
variable or constant upper and lower limits and ramp value, and whether the
button ramps a value up or down.
 In the Label tab, specify what text or image to show on the button.
 In the Timing tab, set up whether or not the button press repeats automatically
when the operator presses and holds the button down, and the rate at which the
button press repeats. For more information about auto repeat, see page 21-11.
