Character string input field
There is no restriction on the number of input fields that can be registered for one
screen data file: any number can be registered as long as the data file capacity is
not exceeded. However, if a large number of elements are registered, check that
the restrictions on element display are complied with by referring to Display Re-
strictions (page 425).
•
It is not possible to set character string input from more than one character
string input field on the same screen to one character string memory table.
•
The following numbers of characters can be displayed in one character string
input field, depending on the scale.
Magnification NT31/NT31C NT631/NT631C
1 1 (Equal) Up to 40 characters Up to 40 characters
1 2 (High) Up to 40 characters Up to 40 characters
2 1 (Wide) Up to 20 characters Up to 40 characters
2 2 Up to 20 characters Up to 40 characters
3 3 Up to 13 characters Up to 26 characters
4 4 Up to 10 characters Up to 20 characters
8 8 Up to 5 characters Up to 10 characters
•
The characters that can be displayed are alphanumerics, symbols and Marks.
Marks are displayed at the standard height even if Half Height is set as the Font
Type. Therefore, if normal alphanumerics and symbols are displayed after dis-
playing a mark, part of the mark will remain displayed, as shown in the figure
below.
•
If Half Height is set for Font Type, and a character string is written after display-
ing Marks, a part of the Marks will remain displayed, as shown below.
A B C D E
a b c d e f g h i j
In this case, create blank characters as marks, write these marks, and then
write the alphanumeric and symbol character string over them.
•
It is not possible to register multiple input fields which refer to the same string
table on the same screen.
Reference: When the PT is in NT30/620 compatible mode, marks, image codes, and library
codes can also be input. Refer to
Appendix C for details on the NT30/620 com-
patible mode.
