Buttons
Standard button types include rectangles and other geometric shapes you can create with the touch
panel editor. Buttons are set with various attributes that specify communication/feedback to and
from the Central Controller when you touch the button.
General buttons are part of the default touch panel program. You use general buttons to create or
revise pages, and specify panel communication parameters. The general button categories are
described in the table below.

information. The properties of these buttons cannot be changed.

adjustment button example sets the baud rate for the connection

value assignment. All keypad buttons are interactive except for the
entry display.
Decision buttons appear when an operation has two options and
