Chapter 3 : Creating a Project

3.3.2.7. Display Data

General introduction

As discussed in Section 3.3.2 – Variables, Input Methods, several input

 

methods are available for your screen prompts.

 

This section discusses the Display Data input method and the properties

 

you need to set up when you select this input type.

 

 

Display Data allows the user to view the data stored in a variable.

For Display Data the property settings are as follows:

Display Value

Extract From

Extract To

Display Time

<ENTER> to continue

Type a value or set a value using the contents of a variable. If you use a variable, remember to assign a value to the variable someplace in your label program

Set the starting position if extracting only certain characters from the input

Set the ending position if extracting only certain characters from the input

For example, if you set Extract From 4 and Extract To 6, you will extract “555” out of 0005550

Set the number of seconds this screen should be displayed before the program proceeds to the next screen

Check this checkbox to force the user to press the <ENTER> button to proceed. At the same time, set the Display Time to zero. If the display time is not equal to zero and the display time expires without a user <ENTER>, the program will continue without waiting for the user to press the <ENTER> button.
