Programming tool for „User Programmable Terminal“ (UPT)
7.10.2 Definition of Display Lines
To define lines of text that you want to display on the terminal’s LCD screen, you may use the tab
display lines on the page definition sheet.
The table on the left shows all currently defined display lines on the current display page.
The „property“-panel on the right shows more detailed information about one single display line.
You may edit the properties of a display line in the table or on the property panel, the information
will always be updated on both parts.
If the simulated LCD screen is visible, you will immediately see the effects of the changes to a
display line. For example, if you change the Y-Position of a display string via up/down-scroller in
the display line property panel, you will the text moving on the simulated LCD screen.
The currently edited display line can be marked in the LCD simulator window with a thin dotted
frame.
If some graphic elements or text lines on the screen overlap, you should be aware of their drawing
order (see chapter 7.10.6). The order of the definition lines can be modified with the mouse. Hold
the left button pressed while moving the mouse in the column "Nr" up or down. A black horizontal
bar shows the location where the moved entry will be inserted when the mouse button is released.
This row-moving procedure is also possible in some other tables of the programming tool.
The button „Insert“ is used to insert a display-line (at the current position in the grid).
The button „Delete“ removes the display line which is currently marked in the grid.
Some „special“ functions for editing display lines may be found by clicking into the grid with the
right mouse-button. A popup-menu will open and show you all possible options.
