Return to
Parameter value prompting
There are two functions to create an editable input field on the user screen at the
present cursor position:
display.inputvalue
and
display.prompt
.
The
display.inputvalue
function uses the user screen at the present cursor
position. Once the command is finished, it returns the user screen back to it's
previous state. The
display.prompt
function creates a new edit screen and does
not use the user screen.
Each of these two functions can be used in four ways:
display.inputvalue(format)
display.inputvalue(format, default)
display.inputvalue(format, default, min)
display.inputvalue(format, default, min, max)
display.prompt(format, units, help)
display.prompt(format, units, help, default)
display.prompt(format, units, help, default, min)
display.prompt(format, units, help, default, min, max)
format
– The
format
string creates an editable input field on the user screen at
the present cursor position. Examples of the
format
for an input field:
+0.00 00 +00.0000E
+00
0.0
Value field:
+
Include a “+” sign for positive/negative value entry. Not including the “+”
sign prevents negative value entry.
0’s‘ Defines the digit positions for the value. Up to six ‘0’s can be used for the
value (as shown above in the third and fourth examples).
.
If used, include the decimal point (.) where needed for the value.
Exponent field (optional):
E
Include the “E” for exponent entry.
+
Include a “+” sign for positive/negative exponent entry. Not including the
“+” sign prevents negative exponent entry.
0’s‘ Defines the digit positions for the exponent.
default
– Use this option to set a default value for the parameter. The
default
value will be displayed when the command is sent.
min
and
max
– There are options to specify minimum and maximum limits for the
input field. When NOT using the “+” sign for the value field, the minimum limit
cannot be set to less than zero. When using the “+” sign, the minimum limit can be
set to less than zero (e.g., -2).
units
and
help
–
units
is a text string to identify the units for the value (8
characters maximum). Example units text is “V” for volts and “A” or amps.
help
is an
information text string to display on the bottom line (32 characters maximum).
