Screens can be create that allow numeric inputs from the PT to the host.
These screens are called numeral editing screens. Input values are desig-

that can be input and the number of digits transmitted to the host can be set.

A maximum of 50 numeral edit settings can be made per screen.

Note 1. Numeral editing screens cannot be used as child screens for continuous
screens.
2. Numeral editing cannot be used if bit input is enabled in the display attrib-
