To invoke the Wizard, pop up on a front panel object, and select

HMI G Wizard…. For example, the HMI G Wizard dialog box for an

analog input tag appears in Figure 4-1 by popping up on a numeric

indicator.

Figure 4-1. HMI G Wizard Dialog Box

When you invoke the HMI G Wizard on one of the front panel objects listed

in Table4-1, a dialog box appears for that object. You can associate the

front panel object with a tag, and set the various parameters. When you

select OK in the dialog box, the Wizard generates diagram code according

to the dialog entries and pastes the code on the block diagram.

From the HMI G Wizard, you can also right-click on the tag selection list

and select Copy Tag…, Edit Tag…, or Create Tag…, to edit or copy the

selected tag, or create a new one using the Tag Configuration Editor. When

you select OK, the newly created or edited tag is automatically saved to the

current .scf file, and you are returned to the HMI G Wizard. For more

information about the Tag Configuration Editor, see Chapter3, Tag

Configuration.
