Operations Guide - DOC. 8114
From the “Define Network” screen of the Workshop (refer to screen 1 of 3), cursor
down to NET ID EF and depress TAB until “CTP-3000” appears in the NET DEVICE
column. Depress F2 to enter the definition. From this screen depress F7 to display the
ANALOG SIGNAL NAME screen (refer to screen 2 of 3). Enter the signal name
coming from the CNTS-N on channel AI1. In the example, the signal name RAW is
used. A signal name must be entered on AI1 for the CNTS-N to report back values
properly. Repeat this procedure for the touchpanel and assign proper signal names
(refer to screen 3 of 3).
NOTE:
When entering values into the MXB symbol, type the value and depress the
F10 key before moving off the field. This forces the Workshop to accept the numeric
parameter instead of attempting to convert it to a percentage. Verify that the optional
[DIV] field is left blank; it is not used for this application.
There are four temperature display formats: Fahrenheit without fractional part,
Fahrenheit with fractional part, Celsius without fractional part, and Celsius with
fractional part. To obtain these values from the RAW signal, four different MXB
symbols are used (refer back to the SIMPL-I block diagram). Each MXB output is
routed to an analog output of a touchpanel definition (CTP-3000 in the example).
VisionTools™ for Windows (VTW) is used to properly display the outputs via the
Digital Gauge object.

NOTE:
When displaying results, use any available output on the CTP-3000
definition. The analog outputs in this example are only a sample (i.e., CELSIUS-10
could be routed to AN26 and could join the digital gauge to 26 instead of 4).
When designing touchpanel layout pages, keep in mind that all object properties are
assigned from the respective properties dialog boxes. The “Digital Gauge Properties”
dialog box has a number of tabs for various settings. For this example, the Join and
Design tabs must be accessed (refer to illustration below). The table that follows the
illustration itemizes all the necessary settings for the signals in the block diagram.
