2-13 Section Inputting Character Strings
206
For details on the connection and settings of the bar code reader, refer to section
3 of the
Setup Manual.
When a character string input field using the interlock function is being displayed
on the screen, the PT continuously reads the status of the corresponding inter-
lock bit allocated in the PC.
Character string input fields only write input character strings to character string
memory tables; they have no function for directly outputting data to external des-
tinations (if the character string memory table to which the character string is
written is allocated to the host, the data can be output to the host indirectly).
However, the input of a character string is notified to the host via the PT status
notify area.
Character string input fields have no processing function.
Relationship with Other Elements
•
Character string displays (page 138) use the same display method as charac-
ter string input fields.
•
For details on how character strings are stored in character string memory
tables, refer to
2-3-2 Character String Memory Tables (page 71).
•
In order to use a character string input field, input and confirmation touch
switches are required, unless a bar code reader is used with the automatic
confirmation setting. In cases where there is more than one input field,
switches for selecting and moving input fields are also required (page 332).
•
Character string input fields overlap with other elements in accordance with
the order in which they were registered for the screen with the Support Tool.
However, the way in which they overlap can be changed with the Support Tool.
