10.4 Procedures for Using GTWIN

 

 

Opening and closing base screens

Either double–click on the button for the number of the screen to be created, or select the button and click on [Open]. This opens the base screen.

Clicking on the [Close] button of the base screen closes the screen. If a screen has been created on the base screen, the contents of the screen will be saved to the computer memory, and a red mark will appear on the button.

Copying, moving, and deleting base screens

Select the base screen to be copied, moved, or deleted, and then press the “Copy”, “Move”, or “Delete” button. Multiple screens can be selected (simply select them consecutively). (They are possible between different screen files, however.)

Displaying the Screen Manager

To display the Screen Manager, select whether a map–type (default) or a list–type display is preferred. Then select “View (V)” on the menu bar, followed by “Screen Manager Display Method”. Select the preferred method. If a list–type display is selected, use “Base Screen” on the menu bar and then “Set Screen Attributes” to display a list of names.

6.Create the text and graphics for the screen.

To create text and graphics on a base screen, use the “Toolbox” under the tool bar.

Writing text

Clicking on the [Text] button in the toolbox changes the mouse pointer to an “I” mark, enabling text input at any desired point on the base screen.

To exit from the input mode, click on the “Select” button.

To change the text size and the color, use the [Font] button .

Drawing graphics

The buttons in the toolbox can be used to draw graphics. To exit from the

input mode, click on the “Select” button.

To change the color, use the [Graphic Color] button , and to change the

type of line, use the [Line Type] button .

Filling in enclosed fields

Clicking on the [Fill] button fills in a field enclosed by lines.

7.Arrange the parts on the screen.

Using the parts function, specify functions such as switches, data displays, and keyboards on the base screen. To use the parts function, select “Parts” on the menu bar, and then click on “Open Parts Library”. This displays a “Select Parts Library” screen. Normally, the “Standard” parts library is used.

For information on the differences between the various parts libraries and on using the parts function, see GTWIN Help function.
