Inputting Character Strings
Reference:
Character string input field
There is no restriction on the number of input fields that can be registered for one
screen data file: any number can be registered as long as the data file capacity is
not exceeded. However, if a large number of elements are registered, check that
the restrictions on element display are complied with by referring to Display Re-
strictions (page 431).
It is not possible to set character string input from more than one character
string input field on the same screen to one character string memory table
entry.
The following numbers of characters can be displayed in one character string
input field, depending on the scale.
Magnification
1 1 (Equal) Up to 32 characters Up to 40 characters Up to 40 characters
1 2 (High) Up to 32 characters Up to 40 characters Up to 40 characters
2 1 (Wide) Up to 16 characters Up to 20 characters Up to 40 characters
2 2 Up to 16 characters Up to 20 characters Up to 40 characters
3 3 Up to 10 characters Up to 13 characters Up to 26 characters
4 4 Up to 8 characters
8 8 Up to 4 characters
The characters that can be displayed are alphanumerics, symbols and Marks.
Marks are displayed at the standard height even if Half Height is set as the Font
Type. Therefore, if normal alphanumerics and symbols are displayed after dis-
playing a mark, part of the mark will remain displayed, as shown in the figure
below.
If Half Height is set for Font Type, and a character string is written after display-
ing Marks, a part of the Marks will remain displayed, as shown below.
In this case, create blank characters as marks, write these marks, and then
write the alphanumeric and symbol character string over them.
It is not possible to register multiple input fields that refer to the same string
table entry on the same screen.
S When the PT is in NT20S or NT30/620 compatible mode, marks, image
codes, and library codes can also be input. Refer to Appendix C for details on
the NT20S and NT30/620 compatible modes.
S When inputting text with more than one popup window open, place the text
input field on the base window. If a temporary input field is used, any characters
being input when the popup window is changed will be cancelled. Refer to
2-15-8 Temporary Input Fields for details on temporary input fields.
