14.11.1.3 Numeric Display - Data Entry/Basic

Data Entry Methods

Select the method that will change the Data Display to input state (cursor display state).

Touch

When the Data Display is touched, it will change to the Allow Input state.

If you touch a Data Display while inputting data into another Data Display, the input data will revert to its previous data, and the most recently touched part will enter the Allow Input state.

When the Allow Input Bit Address is ON, the Data Display is in the Allow Input state.

If the [Allow Input Bit Address] is turned OFF while inputting data in a Data Display, the Allow Input state is canceled and the input data is erased.

Touch

Enable Popup Keypad

Select to display a pop-up keypad when you touch the Data Display part.

A pop-up keypad cannot be used when the Data Display is placed on a Window screen.

Designated Input Order

When entering data into multiple Data Displays in sequence, select the order in which each display enters the input state.

14.13 How Data Input Order Works

Input Order

Select the order, from 1 to 384, in which the Part will enter the input state.

Bit

Allow Input Bit Address

When the bit address set here turns ON, the Data Display enters the input state.

Input Order

Number the Parts from 1 to 384 in the order that they will enter the Allow Input state if the [Allow Input Bit Addresses] of multiple Data Display Parts turn ON at the same time (when a bit address has been registered to multiple Data Display parts, or when different bit addresses turn ON at the same time).

If more than one [Allow Input Bit Address] is turned ON at the same time, the Data Displays will enter the input state according to their [Input Order] settings. If the [Input Order] settings are the same, the input state order will be determined by the order the parts were placed.
If the [Allow Input Bit Address] of Data Displays placed on the Base Screen and Window Screen turn ON at the same time, the Base Screen will have a higher priority for the input state than the Window Screen. When placing Data Displays on both the Base and Window screens, make sure to set a different [Allow Input Bit Address] for each.

When Visibility Animation is selected for the Numeric Display, it will operate as described below.
When it is invisible, it cannot be activated by touch.
If a Bit operation is executed when it is visible, the input box will appear, and if the Popup Keypad is set up, the Popup Keypad will also appear.
If a Bit operation is executed when it is invisible, it will remain invisible and the input box will not appear. If a bit operation is executed and the bit is still on when the object becomes visible again, the input box will also appear. However, when there is a numeric display part in the input state, the numeric display part will enter the input state when input is complete.
When it changes from visible to invisible in the input state, the input state will be canceled. If a popup keypad is being displayed, the popup keyboard also becomes invisible.
When the Designated Input Order is enabled, the input state will be transferred to the next Numeric Display Part. Also, if the input order is applied while invisible, the input box will not appear and it will be transferred to the next numeric display part.
