Panel Name |
fwUnitConfig.pnl |
|
Introduction |
This panel is used to set up the units for one or many data point elements. If the panel is used for just one data point element at a time, the panel shows the current defined unit when loaded. The user can choose from predefined units or choose a custom unit.. |
|
Instructions | When configuring the unit for a data point element (or elements) you should first check the "Unit ON/OFF" check box. Then the unit configuration options will appear. Next, you can either type in your own unit into the text field or you can choose from a predefined list of units. To browse the list of predefined units, press the "SI Units" button and navigate through the menu that appears. When you select a unit from the predefined list, it will appear in the unit text field. Once you have chosen the desired unit, press OK or Apply to save the configuration. To delete the unit on the data point element(s), uncheck the "Unit ON/OFF" check box and then press either OK or Apply. |
|
Restrictions | You can only configure a unit for a data point element
which has a value. Structure data point elements do not have a value
so they also can not have a unit. If you load up the panel with a list
of data point elements, and one happens to be of structure type, then
the panel will not let you configure a unit because it can not be applied
to all the data point elements. You can press the "Select Elements" buttons
to choose which data point elements to configure from the list that
was passed to the panel. |
