If “automatic confirm” is set forbar code reading operation by the memory switch of a PT, the read-out (character) string is automatically written to a character string memory table (stringtable).(2) If the setting for bar code reading operation is “manual confirm”, the data set inthe input field is written to the specified character string memory table (stringtable) when the touch switch allocated thekey code is pressed.(For details of memory switch setting, refer to the operation manual for PT.)197Data InputSection 6-4Operation procedure[Objects] → [Data Input] → [String]Selection using the menu bar:Selection using the drawing toolbar:Related elements and settingsTouch switch ((character) string input): [Objects] → [Touch Switch] →(Character) string input functionTouch switch (control code input):[Objects] → [Touch Switch] →Control code input functionTouch switch (copy setting):[Objects] → [Touch Switch] →Copy settingTerminologyForegroundCursor (focus) moving touch switchBackgroundFocus (cursor) frameProperty setting[General]Position:Indicates the display position of the numeral setting input field.(The attribute point is at the upper left corner of the input field.)Font type:Specify the font of the (character) string to be input.Standard, Half HeightSize:Specify the size of (character) string to be displayed.1 1 (Equal), 1 2 (High), 2 1 (Wide), 2 2, 3 3, 44, 88Smoothing:Specify whether or not smoothing processing is executed for(character) strings.Attribute:Specify the display attribute (attributes displayed depend on the PTmodel.)Standard, Inverse, Flash, Inverse FlashColour198Foreground:Specify the (character) string color.(Can only be set for PTs with color display.)White, black, blue, red, magenta, green, cyan, yellowBackground:Specify the color of the background in the (character) stringdisplay area.(Can only be set for PTs with color display.)White, black, blue, red, magenta, green, cyan, yellowData InputSection 6-4[Settings]Table Entry:*1Specify the table number of the character string memory table(string table) where input data is to be stored.Length:Specify the number of characters to be input.Focus Frame:Specify whether or not the frame which indicates the data inputobjective is displayed.Focus Attribute: Specify how the input data is displayed before it is confirmed.Standard, Inverse, Flash, Inverse Flash*1: Setting is not possible when a string input is used as a temporary input field forNT31, NT31C, NT631, NT631C.GuidanceS When a (character) string input element is specified, the dialog box is displayedto set whether the cursor moving touch switch is automatically created or not.NoteIt is possible to create a touch switch to which a cursor moving key is allocated later.[Create Cursor Move Touch Switch]Specify whether or not a cursor moving touch switch is automatically created.Each time a string input object is newly created, a string table number (where inputdata is stored) is automatically set as 0→1→2...

(It is also possible to changeit later.)S A (character) string input element itself creates a (character) string setting inputfield. It is always used with a control code inputting touch switch (control codeinput function) or a system keypad. Data is input to a (character) string settinginput field using the control code input touch switches and the system keypadwhich are displayed with the (character) string setting input field.199Data InputSection 6-4This data input field is created by a (character)string input element.ABThe input field and the control code input touchswitch are automatically correlated.

Inputa label.ConfirmationS The number of characters which can be input depends on the setting for the[Length] property.S Even if multiple input fields are arranged in a screen, input is possible only forone (character) string input field. Therefore, it is necessary to create a touchswitch (cursor moving touch switch, or arrow symbol touch switches) which isused to select the desired (character) string input field. If the [Focus Frame]property is selected, a cursor moving touch switch is automatically created overlapping a (character) string input field.

The properties for the cursormoving touch switch can be set in the same manner as for a standard touchswitch.How the properties for a touch switch are set is shown below.For details of [Settings], refer to 6-8 “Touch Switches”.S If a check mark is set for [Use Window/Keyboard Screen] in the cursor movingtouch switch setting properties, it is possible to display the specified window/keyboard at the same time as the cursor is moved.This feature allows appropriate numeric keys for the input field to be displayed.It is possible to create a temporary input field in addition to numeric keys.(With NT31, NT31C, NT631, NT631C with “-V1”, all objects other than thumbwheel switch can be created on a window.)Window/KeyboardDisplayed when theinput field is touched.202Data InputSection 6-4S It is possible to create a temporary input field at the same time as numeric keysare arranged in the window/keyboard.A temporary input field is created using a (character) string input element.When a (character) string input element is arranged in the window/keyboard, theelement is automatically set as a temporary input field.Only one string input element (temporary input field) can be created for one window/keyboardS Setting processing differs as shown below depending on whether or not a temporary input field is used.[When a temporary input field is used](2) Storing by pressingkeyCharacter string memorytable (String table)ABCDEFABCDEFABCDEFABCDEFGH(1)Temporary input field(1) The input (character) string is displayed in the temporary input field.(2) Press thekey, and the (character) string in the temporary input field is set inthe (character) string input field and stored in the character string memorytable (string table) at the same time.[When a temporary input field is not used](2) Storing by pressingkeyCharacter string memorytable (String table)ABCDEF(1)ABCDEFABCDEFGH(1) The input (character) string is directly set in the (character) string input field.(2) Press thekey, and the set data is stored in the character string memorytable (string table).Reference: When there are no string to show, string input will be invisible.Therefore, with Support Tool, dotted-line frame is displayed in character foreground color enclosing string input.(This frame will not be displayed on PT)This frame can not be set to off.
However, the dotted–line frame can be set to ONand OFF when printing screen image (refer to P461).203Data InputSection 6-4Note1. The data set in the input field is not stored in the character string memory table(string table) until thekey (button where the Return key code is set) or theENT key is input if “manual confirm” is set for the bar code read operation (setusing the PT memory switches).If “manual confirm” is set, always input thekey or the ENT key at the end ofdata input.2. To correct the data set in the input field, use the CLR key, the BS key, and theDEL key.3.
When a (character) string input field is moved, the touch switch is also movedautomatically. To modify or move a (character) string input field and a touchswitch independently, cancel the check mark set for [Auto Arrange] in the [Settings] page of a touch switch property.4. The cursor can also be moved using an arrow symbol key touch switch. Thecursor moves in the order the (character) string input elements were created;this order can be changed after creating the elements.204Data Input6-4-3Section 6-4Thumbwheel SwitchThumbwheel switches are provided as means to input numeric data. “+” and “–”keys are provided at each input digit to allow you to input numeric data at individualdigits.
