HMI G Wizard Dialog Box
When you invoke the HMI G Wizard on one of the front panel objects listed
in Table 4-1, a dialog box appears for that object. You can associate the
front panel object with a tag, and set the various parameters. When you
select OK in the dialog box, the Wizard generates diagram code according
to the dialog entries and pastes the code on the block diagram.
From the HMI G Wizard, you can also right-click on the tag selection list
and select Copy Tag…, Edit Tag…, or Create Tag…, to edit or copy the
selected tag, or create a new one using the Tag Configuration Editor. When
you select OK, the newly created or edited tag is automatically saved to the
current
.scf
file, and you are returned to the HMI G Wizard. For more
information about the Tag Configuration Editor, see Chapter 3,
