fwFormatConfigPopup.pnl |
|
Introduction |
This panel is used to set up the format configuration 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 format of the data point element when loaded. |
|
Instructions | When configuring the format for a data point element (or elements) you should first check the "Format ON/OFF" check box. Then the format options will appear. Next, define the formatting you require. Depending on the type of the data point element, this can include choosing the maximum number of digits, the number of digits after the decimal point and if you want exponential style formatting. Once this is done, press OK or Apply to save the configuration. To delete the format configuration on the data point element(s), uncheck the "Format ON/OFF" check box and then press either OK or Apply. |
|
Restrictions | The formats that are available depends on the type of the data point elements. The panel does not, for example, allow any format config to be set for a boolean data point element and for integer elements, the choice of formatting is reduced. If you load the panel for a collection of data point elements, the panel will show only the formatting options that can be applied to all the current elements. So, for example, if the panel is used to configure a float element and a boolean element, the formatting will not be able to be configured because the boolean data point element does not support it. You can press the "Select Elements" buttons to choose which data point elements to configure from the list that was passed to the panel. |
