(1) The touch switches (character key) are previously set by the support tool.
(2) When the character key ("NT620S" in an example in the figure) is pressed, a
guide character of the character key ("NT620S" in the example in the figure)
is entered in the character-string setting input column.
(3) When the Enter (
string input column is written into the character-string memory table and si-
multaneously notified to the PC.

- By using the pop-up window function (see page 171), it is possible to select
and open a number of windows (keypads), each of which comprises a number
of character keys, thus allowing various types of input.
- Input to character-string setting input fields can be disabled by a system control
(PT status control area) operation.
An appropriate character-string setting input column is specified to be ready for
an input operation before a character-string is entered by the character key.
• Specifying the character-string setting input column to be entered
The character-string setting input column to be entered is specified by either
ten-key, system key, or touch switch (cursor moving key).
The frame (cursor) around the specified character-string setting input column
and the cursor attributes can be specified.
Concrete specifying method is the same as numeral setting. Refer to the
"Specifying the Numeral Setting Input Column to be Entered" (page 162).
The window opening function can be set for cursor moving keys. For details, see
4-10 "Pop-Up Window Function" (page 171).
• Entering the character-string
The character-strings are displayed in the input column of the character-string
setting in due order of the touch switches being pressed (A character is in-
serted at an input cursor position). At this time, the keyboard screen can also
be switched over halfway.
When entering the character-strings, the following control keys of the touch
switches can be used.
