variable
The PLC or NC variables should be entered in
double quotation marks.
Column width Entry in pixels.
Offset The increments to be used to accumulate each
index in order to fill the column are specified in
the assigned offset parameter:
•
Offset1: Step width for the 1st index
• Offset2: Step width for the 2nd index
•
Offset3: Step width for the 3rd index
Variable of type STRING
If the variable is a STRING type variable, the length must be specified in the type, e.g.,
DEF
CHAN STRING [16] TEXT[41]
.
The column definition for the CHAN variable, therefore, starts, e.g., (S16/... ).
Column header from text file
The column header can be entered as text or text numbers ($8xxxx) and is not scrolled.
Modifying column properties
The column properties, which can be modified dynamically (written) are:
● Limits (min,max),
● Column header (st),
● Attributes (wr, ac and li),
● Help display (hlp) and
● OPI-Variable (var).
Column properties are modified via the variable identifier in the definition line and the column
index (starting at 1).
Example:
VAR1[1].st="Column 1"
