Set up numeric options for a Numeric Input Enable button

Use the Numeric tab of the Numeric Input Enable Properties dialog box to set up numeric options for a Numeric Input Enable button.

To set up a numeric pop-up for the button

  1. In the Graphics Display editor, double-click the object to open its Properties dialog box.
  2. Click the Numeric tab.
  3. Select a numeric pop-up option:
    • Keypad
    • Scratchpad
    • None
  4. Specify these properties for the pop-up:
    • Maximum and minimum values
    • Ramp values (if any)
    • Decimal point settings

      Tip:

      If you only want to use the Numeric Input Enable button to ramp values, select None from the numeric pop-up options below. Once the button has input focus, the value can be ramped using the Move Up/Down key buttons or the cursor control keys.

      To give the object input focus, have either of the following turned on on the General tab:

      • Key Navigation (navigate to the object and give it input focus using the keyboard
      • Take focus on press, with a function key assigned to the object (press the function key to give the object input focus)

      Tip:

      • If the ramp value is floating point and the Value connection is an integer tag, the application rounds the value before writing it to the connection.
      • If an Optional Expression is assigned, ramping is disabled.

      Tip:
