5.3.2 Configuration of the Elements
145
Double clicking on an element in the panel opens the configuration dialog for the particular
element. For example, with push buttons you can set the label as well as the
text font, while for bitmap elements you must input the name of the associated bitmap
file.
When the panel is created you must assign an environment variable or a signal to
each control and display element. To do this, select the desired environment variable
or the desired signal from the appropriate selection list in the configuration dialog.
Note, that signals indicate status only but no actions can be triggered.
Note: When the key is pressed while the mouse pointer is simultaneously
moved over an element, a window appears containing the name of
the assigned environment variables or the assigned signal. If you have entered
a comment for the environment variables in the CAN database, the
first comment line of the environment variable is displayed.
For the elements bitmap switch/indicator, push button, switch, radio button and bitmap
push button you must also enter a switch value. This value corresponds to the
value of the environment variable when the element is active. For example, a threestage
switch can be constructed from three radio buttons by assigning the same environment
variable to all three elements, but selecting different switch values for each
of the radio buttons, e.g. 1 for the first, 2 for the second, and 3 for the third trigger.
The switch value 1 is assumed for push buttons and switches. Multi-stage switches
are incremented (decremented) by 1 when the right (left) mouse button is pressed,
respectively, whereby the smallest switch value is always 0. In configuring continuous
elements you must specify minimum and maximum values for the assigned environment
variable.
The "Alarm states" function makes it possible for the elements meter, slider, input/output
box and ActiveX control to respond to a situation in which a value is above
or below of a previously defined value range.
This makes it possible to change the visual representation of the panel element that
displays the value when a specific limit value is reached. For example it is possible to
respond to a situation in which a value is above or below of a previously defined
value range of a pointer element by changing the color of the pointer.
For information on configuring elements please refer to the Panel Editor's Online
Help function in the particular configuration dialog.
5.3.3 Arranging the Control Elements
Besides the standard functions for all indicator and control elements - Cut, Copy,
Paste and Delete - with which you can copy individual elements to the clipboard and
paste them from there to the same panel or another panel, the Edit menu offers you
a number of functions for arranging and grouping elements. All functions relating to
an element can also be activated directly via the respective popup menu. The following
functions are available for arranging elements:
