(3) Continuous input function
On a data setting custom screen on which there are two or more
numeral indication controls with key input, numeral indication controls
for calling a ten-key pad, and PMC area character string indication
controls, using the continuous input function can input data
continuously without selecting a control after each item of data is input.
The continuous input function is implemented with the “focus
movement function for selecting a control with input using cursor keys”
that is necessary on a non-touch panel display unit. To put it another
way, performing continuous inputs manually requires pressing a cursor
key to move the focus to the next control each time data input for a
control is completed. The continuous input function automatically
performs operations equivalent to pressing of the cursor keys. An
option is available which can be used to stop continuous input after data
input for a control with input at a specific location is finished.
This function can be used on any display unit type, no matter whether it
has a touch panel.
CAUTION
When using a pop-up screen to input data for a
control with input, observe the following:
1. To perform continuous input, specify a pop-up
main screen name for data input as a “Pop-up
screen name” property.
2. Be sure to place a pop-up erase button on each
pop-up main screen for data input. Otherwise, it
will become impossible to:
<1> Stop continuous input.
<2> Automatically erase the pop-up screen after
continuous data input is finished.
