Using Base Win dows
Of the three types of windows, base windows are the most commonly used. A base window is used to create a full
screen window or a popup (partially sized) window. You may have up to six popup windows on the screen at any
moment in time. Base windows can be minimized to an icon on the task bar. Base windows can also be moved
about on the OIT display and can overlap each other. The number of objects that can be placed onto each base
window is limited only by the total amount of memory available within the OIT.
How to Dis play Base Win dows
Base windows can be displayed on the OIT screen by using a function key to display the window or by using the
PLC to call up the window.
Using a Func tion Key
The Function Key Object is a graphics touch screen object that you place onto a window to perform an action.
Function keys have many purposes which are discussed in later sections, but two actions that a function key can
perform are:
· Calling a full screen window
· Calling a popup window
Calling a full screen window
If a function key object is created to call a full screen window, the window that is displayed replaces all other
windows that are on display regardless of how many are open. Therefore, think of calling a full screen window as
performing two actions: closing any open windows and displaying a full screen window.
